Come discover the world of plant pigments! In this workshop you learn how to make your own watercolor ink with the surrounding flora. We will learn how to identify some important plant modifiers and then make 2-3 inks from plant material foraged right here in Los Angeles. Participants will have the chance to get their hands dirty with a variety of ink making and then apply the ink to paper to make their own painting. Ms. Larsen is an artist and educator who began this journey when her students were unable to name a single plant growing around them. They started foraging together to create art supplies, and through many successes and failures, Ms. Larsen's botanical inks were born. Having grown up on a farm and spent countless hours roaming the woods, she intends for her work to inspire a sense of mystery and curiosity about the plants found in both urban and rural areas. Through Ms. Larsen's Botanical Inks and Drinks, she aims to foster a greater appreciation for local flora and promote sustainable practices. By transforming excess produce into beautifully crafted inks and wines, Ms. Larsen helps individuals connect with the environment in a meaningful way, contributing to a more engaged and environmentally conscious community. Tier 1- ($60) Make your own ink and leave with one bottle of your choosing and your finished painting Tier 2- ($70) Take home 4 ink bottles filled with ink made in workshop to use at home or gift to a fellow artist and your painting. Tier 3 - ($90) Leave with your famed artwork, 4 bottles of ink made in workshop and a Los Angeles ink kit made by Ms. Larsen which includes 4 ink colors, a porcelain paint palette and homemade yucca brushes.

Eric Idle is a comedian, actor, author, and singer-songwriter who found immediate fame on television with the sketch-comedy show Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Following its success, the group began making films that include Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, and Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. Eric wrote, directed, and created The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, the world’s first-ever mockumentary, as well as the Tony Award–winning musical Spamalot. His memoir, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life was a New York Times bestseller. Watch videos of Eric Idle’s three previous appearances at Live Talks Los Angeles — interviewing John Cleese and Alan Zweibel; and interviewed by Bob Saget. “Idle provides a rollicking account of the making of his Broadway musical Spamalot. . . . an irresistible and unfiltered ode to the art of live theater. Fans will love this tantalizing glimpse behind the curtain.”—Publishers Weekly Long before Spamalot was the toast of Broadway and the winner of three Tony awards, it was an idea threatening to fizzle out before it could find its way into existence. In The Spamalot Diaries, Eric Idle shares original journal entries and raw email exchanges that reveal the sometimes bumpy, always entertaining path to the show’s unforgettable run. Financial anxieties, collaborative disputes that tested decades-long friendships, endless rewriting and a broken ankle were just some of the challenges. Idle chronicles every minor mishap and triumph along the way, as well as the creative tension that drove the show to new heights. An unforgettable look behind the curtain of a beloved musical and inside the wickedly entertaining mind of one of our most treasured comic performers.

The Mixtape Exhibit delves deep into the sounds, scenes and history of hip-hop music, dance, graffiti, fashion, business, and activism. On view are rarely displayed artifacts from Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., MC Lyte, Lil Wayne, Slick Rick, Egyptian Lover, Eminem, and many others, and visitors can make their own hip-hop music with five unique interactives. The exhibit was curated by a team of four co-curators who bring a deep knowledge of hip-hop, academic rigor and creativity to the project: Felicia Angeja Viator, associate professor of history, San Francisco State University, author of To Live And Defy In LA: How Gangsta Rap Changed America, and one of the first women DJs in the Bay Area hip-hop scene; Adam Bradley, professor of English and founding director of the Laboratory for Race and Popular Culture (the RAP Lab) at UCLA, and co-editor of The Anthology of Rap; Jason King, dean, USC Thornton School of Music and former chair of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU; and Dan Charnas, associate arts professor, NYU Clive Davis Institute of Music, and author of Dilla Time: The Life And Afterlife Of The Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm. The co-curators worked in conjunction with GRAMMY Museum Chief Curator and VP of Curatorial Affairs Jasen Emmons as well as a 20-member Advisory Board.

The Western landscape is a place where the transformation of physical space involves both visualization and manipulation, where the connections between what can be physically seen and how it is visually represented are not always clear; technologies originally designed to render places visible often became instruments of invisibility and surveillance, severing western lands from the populations that depend on them. Out of Site focuses on three technological revolutions to examine how visual technologies, artistic interventions, and the workings of state power have evolved in tandem with the Western landscape: wet-plate photography, used to theorize geological processes; the rise of aerial photography and pattern recognition; and the increasing use of drones, satellites, and other long-range photographic technologies to image secretive sites, military installations, and other technologically-mediated locales. The exhibition features 90 artworks, archival materials, and devices ranging from mammoth plate cameras to drones. Carleton Watkins’ Nevada mining photographs,19th-century geological reports, and stereoviews, and Margaret Bourke-White’s aerial surveys published in LIFE magazine in 1936 are juxtaposed with contemporary photographic and video pieces by David Maisel, Michael Light, and Steven Yazzie, among other artists.

Simone Leigh, a traveling exhibition organized by the ICA Boston and co-presented in Los Angeles by LACMA and the California African American Museum, is the first comprehensive survey of the richly layered work of this celebrated artist. LACMA’s presentation features approximately 20 years of Leigh’s production in ceramic, bronze, video, and installation, as well as works from her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation. Over the past two decades, Leigh has created works exploring questions of Black femme subjectivity and knowledge production. Addressing a wide swath of historical periods, geographies, and traditions, her art references vernacular and hand-made processes from across the African diaspora, as well as forms traditionally associated with African art and architecture. Accompanied by a major monograph, this exhibition offers visitors a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of Leigh’s complex and profoundly moving work.
