Cross-posting from Up at the Gate. Finishing School will be participating in a Farmlab Public Salon about their recent project at Angels Gate, M.O.L.D., tomorrow, Friday July 31 at noon. Very excited to hear the guys talking about one of the most interesting exhibitions the Center has ever been home to. Technorati Tags: Finishing [...] I’m still incensed by LACMA’s decision to maim its film department under what seem like increasingly flimsy reasonings. The LA Times’ Kenneth Turan gives it to LACMA, hitting the the key points – that the $1 million dollar number is accounting BS, that LACMA has been undersupporting the Film Department for years, that film [...] In what is being described as a “restructuring”, LACMA has canceled it’s weekend film series, reduced curator Ian Birnie to a “consulting curator” and will be having folks from other departments stepping in to program film at LACMA. Tuesday Matinees for seniors are still in the budget, though. All in the name of reduced [...] Keeping it brief… Thursday, July 23 Metaphoria @ MOCA. Spoken word at the museum, by LA and Chicago poets. Presented by LAartlab. 6-7:30 and the museum is free, too. Friday, July 24 A Star is Born @ LACMA. Could anything be better on a hot Friday night than going to see a three [...] More updates, mostly via C-Monster’s digest. Above, video from a Wall Street Journal article covering the casting call at White Columns. Can we get a ban on the use of the term “starving artists”, please? The NY Times coverage of the White Columns casting call confirms what I’ve been hearing about the one [...] Question: Why is it that the above painting, John Young Snaps a Salute in Mid-Air, by his fellow moonwalker Alan Bean is so much more relevant and interesting than 90% of the art that is being made today? Answer: Because it relates to something that actually happened, that was real and beautiful to [...] Apparently painter Paul Cumes was unsatisfied with his experience during the cattle call for Bravo’s “Untitled Top Artist Clusterfuck”. So he sent LA mega collector/emerging artist’s champion and guest judge Dean Valentine a fabulous rant, which Valentine has posted to Facebook, for all the world to share! Oh joy, here we go: Subject: are [...] Been so in the office, that I don’t know what’s happening much outside, but here we go! Saturday, July 18 Bloomfest @ Bloom Square in Traction Triangle. Is the Triangle coming back? I think it should, dammit. Bands all day, starting at 11 AM. Daytoday in LA @ G727. Saturday is one of [...] LACMA’s Scott Tennent put up the above image from the museum’s archives, featuring 45 LA art world folks on LACMA’s front steps, taken in February 1968. They can’t identify 15 of the subjects, so maybe you can help out, or you can just read the interesting story of the photo over at Unframed. [...] Thought this was interesting. According to the fellows over at the Sacramento Bee’s CapitolAlert blog, Young has filed suit as an individual to ask the California Supreme Court to “declare that the state constitution’s requirement of two-thirds legislative votes to raise taxes is invalid.” Guess there’s more to life than wrangling MOCA and issuing [...] |
