Noticed this place across the street from Largo and my new favourite watering hole, Roger Room, on La Cienega. Is this the Westside version of those Uhaul-based, parking lot giclee sales that pop up on weekends, or a sign of the economic times? Technorati Tags: art, art market, gallery, painting, La [...] Art is in slo-mo right now, as everyone prepares for a host of September openings. At Angels Gate, we’re getting ready for Welcome to Fake Iraq and Flying Machine, which open next week on September 6. Friday, August 28 From JBAD, Lessons Learned @ The Velaslavasay Panorama. Danielle Adair, the one artist from Welcome [...] LACMA has announced (several days in advance of Monday’s “popcorn summit”) that gifts totaling $150 from Ovation Television and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have been secured to keep the weekend film series programming at LACMA alive. In addition Ovation and Time Warner Cable have pledged $1.5 million in in-kind advertising for the current [...] While I get to watch Conan the Barbarian (…lamentations of their women, riddle of steel, by Crom, etc…) over and over again on lazy Sunday afternoons, the Japanese get to watch the Governator in noodle and vita-drink commercials. YouTube user CyberdineSytems 101, I salute you for uploading the above compilation of thirty Japanese [...] Let me briefly remind that this is the last weekend to see either For Fame and Love or Lisa Bartleson: Luminate at Angels Gate.

All details are vague, but the direction seems to be about creating an endowment that can support the program [...] This bad news comes via Suzanne Muchnic at Culture Monster. I’m to underinformed to really step in on this, but I find it incredibly disappointing. The Autry is an incredible institution, that routinely does “out-of-the-box” programming, expanding Southern California’s understanding of its history and our place in “Western Culture” (That’s Western as in six-shooter, [...] Possibly the best piece of filmmaking that I have seen in years, Duncan Jones’ Moon is a flat out rejection of the effects driven science fantasy that has passed for Sci-Fi for most of my lifetime.
