This exhibition highlights works from the MOCA permanent collection that engage with the not always obvious relationship between objects, theater, and performance. Tracing Performance, Fictions of Display builds upon Claes Oldenburg’s The Store (1961-62), a performative project that staged the commercial transaction of selling an artwork in a bodega-like environment, as well as other economies determined by gestures, transactions, and bodies in works by Colette (or her alter ego Justine), Rebecca Horn, Brian Jurgen, Mike Kelley, Terence Koh, Beverly Semmes, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Martine Syms, among others. Several works on view have never been exhibited at MOCA before, including the painting Monsieur On Sait Qui (1982), by influential Polish theater director and happening artist Tadeusz Kantor; the five-channel video installation Big Hunt (2002) by Catherine Sullivan, who was trained as an actor as well as visual artist, and performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s photograph The Loneliness of the Immigrant (1979 - 2011).

The traffic in Los Angeles was really bad, and it was blocked for more than an hour. We still line up like Shanghai Disney. There is no speed pass, and we can play all the projects in almost a day (except for the big roller coaster, I am afraid). We went on a weekday. At ten o&#39;clock, there was no queue of more than 25 points. That Mario restaurant, lightning-proof, don&#39;t go.

I went to Disneyland in California and had so much fun! It has two parks, Disneyland and Adventureland, with a wide variety of projects. The Star Wars Park is very technological, and the exciting roller coaster made my heart beat faster. The parade performance was super exciting, full of fairy tale atmosphere. The staff was also very enthusiastic and the service was very considerate, and the experience was full!

Disney California Adventure Park is a vibrant celebration of imagination, thrills, and the spirit of California. From the exhilarating Incredicoaster and Radiator Springs Racers to the whimsical charm of Pixar Pier and Avengers Campus, every corner offers immersive storytelling and unforgettable rides. The park beautifully blends Disney magic with local flair, showcasing themed lands, live entertainment, and mouthwatering food options&mdash;like the famous churros and lobster nachos.

Griffith Observatory: The junction of the Starry Sky and the Earth This art deco building, completed in 1935, is suspended on the Hollywood Hills like a giant astronomical instrument targeting the Los Angeles Basin. Free and open setting makes it the city&#39;s most generous viewing platform. Fu Ke in the main hall is the most philosophical. The brass hammers slowly deflect the trajectory of the star map floor, silently proving the physical facts of the earth&#39;s rotation. When the Tesla coils on the basement floor were performed, artificial lightning burst in the dome, turning the scientific demonstration into a modern witchcraft show. But the true souls are on the night rooftops when city lights spread like magma beneath their feet, and the visible galaxy hangs overhead, forming a barren war between heaven and man. It is recommended to arrive an hour before sunset. First look at the sun on the west terrace as the Hollywood sign is gilded, then line up in the dusk to touch the astronomical telescope. The couples in line, the photographers on tripods and the children counting stars cast overlapping silhouettes on the metal shell of the telescopeperhaps more worth observing than the celestial body itself. Don&#39;t forget to look back at the Greek theater-style dome when you leave, and the bronze statue of Einstein is smiling in the shadow of the porch, as if you already know all about human obsession with the universe.

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles is magnificent in scale and the architectural design is easy to visit. There are many exhibition halls in the museum, and the content of the exhibition hall is different. [Fun] It is very interesting, and the history of dinosaur development and evolution is displayed here. [Cost-effective] very high. Such a huge exhibition hall is very good value for money.
