There are many good things to do this Saturday in and around L.A.. Here are just a few of the things are friends are up to:
11/7: Machine Project is hosting its first ever fund-raising benefit. It should be loads of fun.
"What to expect? Opportunities to steal art from a laser-protected,
action movie-style perimeter, wager on microscopic slime mold races,
try your hand at gold panning to prospect for real gold nuggets, stay
late to huddle around the firepit to make ’smores, partake from the
amply stocked wine and beer bar, have a wood-fired pizza from an
on-site brick pizza oven, enjoy music from four different acts, replace
your old Getty Museum fake ID, participate in head-to-head speed
soldering contests and eat noodles supplied by Kwong Dynasty Noodle Cart."
Oh yeah, the new book Machine Project Field Guide to LACMA is hot off the press and available for purchase.
11/7: The opening reception for Rachel Mayeri's exhibition at Pomona College Museum of Art is this Saturday.
The exhibition "focuses on “Primate Cinema,” a video series
begun in 2006 that deals with primates and their on-screen dramas and consists
of several related videos, performances, and installations."
The exhibition runs through Dec. 20. Be sure to check out the catalog Primate Cinema while you are there.
WINTER CACTUS SHOW @ THE ARBORETUM11/7: The San Gabriel Valley Cactus and Succulent Society exhibits the splendours of fall and winter by celebrating succulents and cacti rarely seen in summer shows. Featured plants will include the succulent pelargoniums - wild relatives of the common geranium - and cyphostemma - succulent members of the grape family. Haworthias and echeverias will be devloping new leaves at the start of the winter growing season, and conophytums - the jewels of the Mesembryanthemaceae - will be at their best.
