TBM IRL: Examining Lifecycles of Time-Based Media Art Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-12-05 | What happens when the technology of today becomes the relics of the past? When a media or installation artwork is maintained by an artist’s studio or estate, represented by a gallery, and collected by multiple individuals or institutions, who ensures that the artistic materials and the intent of the work lives on in accordance with the artist’s wishes? The demands of collecting and caring for time-based media have increasingly become an urgent and complicated concern for the art world in the digital age. Seldom have all stakeholders in a time-based media artwork’s life-cycle come together for discussion around best practices in collaboratively establishing the authentic disposition of a time-based artwork, now and into the future. Given the large number of artists, galleries, museums, and collectors in Los Angeles, LACMA hosted a colloquium on Friday, October 27th to share our work and to forge new paths for successful collaboration and discussion. “TBM IRL: Examining Lifecycles of Time-Based Media Art” considers our shared role in stewarding time-based media artworks in the face of inevitable change, redefining the specific contexts under which these artworks exist and evolve.This event is made possible by a generous gift from Suzanne Deal Booth.

LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives (Collection III) | Rise by Alison Saar Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-09-07 | Alison Saar’s monument, Rise, creates space for the viewer to remember those lost, and those who survived the abuses of the colonization and commodification of women–specifically those of Black, Brown, and Indigenous heritage. Rise embodies Saar’s response to the current attack on reproductive rights and threats made to the sovereignty of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and female bodies, and serves as a catalyst for conversation and dialogues which will bring these issues to light, inspiring compassion and activism. Saar calls on the goddess Yemaya, a mother spirit; patron spirit of women, especially pregnant women, who commands creation, water, rivers, lakes, streams, and shipwreck survivors in the Yoruba religion. In Saar’s work, Yemaya is surrounded by swarming catfish, doves, cowrie and conch shells, wields a cane knife, and blows on a conch shell, calling women to resist the forces that want to control their freedom and reproductive rights, especially women of color who have historically had their bodies colonized.

Alison Saar, Rise, 2023, in collaboration with LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives, © Alison Saar, image courtesy of Alison Saar.--About the Artist Alison SaarAlison Saar credits her mother, acclaimed collagist and assemblage artist Betye Saar, with exposing her to metaphysical and spiritual traditions. Assisting her father, Richard Saar, a painter and art conservator, in his restoration shop inspired her learning and curiosity about other cultures.Saar studied studio art and art history at Scripps College in Claremont, California, receiving a BA in art history in 1978. In 1981 she earned her MFA from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. In 1983, Saar became an artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, incorporating found objects from the city environment. Saar completed another residency in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1985, which augmented her urban style with Southwest Native American and Mexican influences.Saar’s style encompasses a multitude of personal, artistic, and cultural references that reflect the plurality of her own experiences. Her sculptures, installations, and prints incorporate found objects including rough-hewn wood, old tin ceiling panels, nails, shards of pottery, glass, and urban detritus. The resulting figures and objects become powerful totems exploring issues of gender, race, heritage, and history. Saar’s art is included in museums and private collections across the U.S.lacma.org/monumental-perspectives-collection-iii?tab=alison-saar--#alison-saar--About LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental PerspectivesMonumental Perspectives brings together artists and technologists to create augmented reality monuments that explore just some of the histories of Los Angeles communities in an effort to highlight perspectives from across the region.

LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives (Collection III) | Self Inventions by Rashaad Newsome Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-09-07 | Newsome draws comparisons between the labor performed by robots and the unpaid, compulsory service Black people have had to perform historically. In the face of untenable circumstances, Black culture has not only survived and adapted, but has found a way to flourish. This is the exciting yet vexing task of creating Blackness, a process that many of the residents in the Exposition Park area have long been engaged in. The figures in Self Invention are the “engineers of themselves,” paying homage to the legacy of Black resistance, carrying forward a history of endless innovation.Composition by Rashaad NewsomeLens Creator: Michael FrenchThis initiative is made possible by Snapchat. Major support for the initiative is provided by the Mellon Foundation. Rashaad Newsome, Self Inventions, 2023, in collaboration with LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives, © Rashaad Newsome, image courtesy of Snap Inc.--About the Artist Rashaad NewsomeRashaad Newsome's work blends several practices, including collage, sculpture, film, CGI, photography, music, computer programming, software engineering, community organizing, and performance, to create a divergent field that rejects classification. Using the diasporic traditions of improvisation, he pulls from the world of advertising, the internet, art history, Black culture, and Queer culture to produce counter-hegemonic work that walks the tightrope between social practice and abstraction. Collage acts as a conceptual and technical method to make visible the density of encrypted epigenetic material Black and Black queer people embody. His work celebrates Black contributions to the art canon and creates innovative and inclusive forms of culture and media. Newsome was born in 1979 in New Orleans, Louisiana where he received a BFA in Art History at Tulane University in 2001. He has exhibited and performed in galleries, museums, institutions, and festivals internationally.lacma.org/monumental-perspectives-collection-iii?tab=rashaad-newsome--#rashaad-newsome--About LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental PerspectivesMonumental Perspectives brings together artists and technologists to create augmented reality monuments that explore just some of the histories of Los Angeles communities in an effort to highlight perspectives from across the region.

LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives (Collection III) | The Thirty Birds by Yassi Mazandi Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-09-07 | The Thirty Birds is Mazandi’s interpretation of the ending of ‘Attar’s poem describing the epiphanic realization of the surviving birds at their journey’s end: they are the Simurgh (literally “30 birds” in Persian). Through the medium of AR, Mazandi renders the birds as if they are in a dream state when they reach that moment of truth. The work also calls to mind today’s key issue of climate change, which affects avian species and humans alike.

Self-taught, she sculpts in porcelain, clay and bronze, and also creates works on paper and canvas. She enjoys constant experimentation, including combining traditional hand-intensive skills with relevant technological innovations. In recent years, she completed her first video artwork, NFT and AR artworks. Her work has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions, as well as a video interview with the BBC. She was in the first group selected by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation for its Artist in Residence program.

LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives (Collection III) | Dead Heads by Rubén Ortiz Torres Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-09-07 | Rubén Ortiz Torres has responded to a site in El Parque de Mexico in Lincoln Heights where a number of sculptures have been stolen from their plinths. Among the bronze busts that have been taken from the site are important figures in Mexican modern history, including General Ignacio Zaragosa who led the Battle of Puebla, poet Ramon Lopez Velarde, and Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. Ortiz Torres’s response to the empty plinths is a reimagining of the role of monuments in the 21st century, especially in a moment where identity can be hybridized through mobile apps like Snapchat. Morphing, a digital technique made accessible in the late 1990s through digital editing software, has been a longtime strategy for Ortiz Torres, one that allows him to crisscross mediums (painting, photography, and drawing into digital collage) as well as intersect portraiture with historical research. In Ortiz Torres’s project, the empty plinths become an opportunity to envision a new form of memorializing, one in which Mexican historical figures like General Ignacio Zaragoza, Doña Josefa Dominguez overlap with cultural icons like the L.A. Dodgers, and large scale statuary such as Olmec heads, Northwestern totems, and depictions of Buddha.Composition by Rubén Ortiz Torres and Sara HarrisLens Creator: 3DarThis initiative is made possible by Snapchat.

The Funds of Knowledge & Arts: Learning From Students + Creating Culturally Relevant Practices | ESS Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-07-10 | Drawing on a number of teaching tools and resources, Dr. Luis-Genaro Garcia will show participants how they can draw on their students’ familial/home knowledge (Funds of Knowledge) in order to connect art and Common Core standards to their own subject-specific curriculums. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in lesson planning activities where they will consider non-traditional approaches like drawing from students' familial and communal assets in the planning of their own culturally relevant practices. Luis-Genaro Garcia is an artist, scholar, former LAUSD educator, and current Assistant Professor of Art Education at Sacramento State.

Andell Family Sundays | Celebrate Lunar New Year with Tang Yuan Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2023-01-25 | Andell Family Sundays Anytime is thrilled to present "Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Tang Yuan" with Chef Jessica Wang or Gu Grocery and her mother, Peggy Wang. Gather your family and learn to make the traditional Lunar New Year dish Tang Yuan. Tian Tangyuan Sesame DumplingsMakes 36 tangyuanSesame Filling：110g (about 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon) roasted black sesame seeds, ground to fine powder80g (1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons) muscovado brown sugar1/4 teaspoon salt60g (1/4 cup) soft coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted60g (1/4 cup) waterIf you are starting with raw sesame seeds, roast them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes. The seeds are ready when they puff up, and start smoking. Remove from heat and transfer to a dish to cool. When seeds are completely cool, use a spice grinder, or blender to grind sesame to a fine powder. Blend ingredients together in a small bowl using a spatula. The consistency will be like tahini. Taste and adjust with more sugar, if you'd like. Transfer to a shallow flat container (a loaf pan or rectangular takeout container) and spread into an even layer. Chill in the freezer or refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm. Set a timer so you don’t forget! It can get too hard. While filling is firming up, make sweet rice dough. The dough will rest while you roll the sesame filling balls.Divide into 3 portions and work with ⅓ of the filling (12 portions) at a time. Keep the rest chilled while you work on each batch. Cut the block of sesame like a mini batch of brownies. Scoop each portion up with your fingertips and roll into a ball, then return to the holding container. Use an additional container as required for spacing (the balls should not be touching). Freeze the portioned and rolled balls until completely frozen. They will be ready for use when frozen.Glutinous Rice Dough for Wrapping:250 g (2 cups) glutinous rice flour ~ look for a Thai sweet rice flour, they are very finely ground105 mL (½ cup) boiling water105 mL (½ cup) room temperature waterCombine rice flour and boiling water in a heat proof bowl on a steady work surface. The mixture will be crumbly. Add room temperature water and knead by hand until dough comes together. Add more water one tablespoon at a time if the dough cracks easily. Test the dough for stretchiness by making a long shape and pulling the two ends. Form dough into a sphere, cover in mixing bowl, and rest for 30 minutes. Divide dough into 3 portions, then cut each third into halves. Keep dough covered and work with one piece at a time by rolling into logs and cutting into 6 portions for each dumpling. To wrap sesame balls in dough, follow visual guide in video, using a pinch pot method! Cook some dumplings right away and freeze the rest for later! Repack after completely frozen on lined dishes. You can save the filling and tightly wrapped dough in the fridge for another day or two.Tangyuan Served in Ginger Tea 8 tangyuan4 cups boiling water 1 inch chunk (about ½ oz or 15 g) fresh ginger, or more for a spicier ginger taste2 tablespoon brown sugar or honeyFill your pot with the water. Add more if needed until it is 3 inches deep. Simmer ginger in boiling water for 5 minutes for a light taste, or up to 5 minutes longer gently to infuse further. Strain ginger out or leave it in before next step. Boil tangyuan in ginger tea on stovetop until water reboils and they float (3-4 minutes) and continue cooking 30 seconds to 1 minute (additional 30 more seconds if cooking from frozen). Gently transfer tangyuan with slotted spoon to serving bowls. Sweeten ginger tea and ladle over tangyuan. Allow eaters to sweeten their bowls to taste.

EP 9. Sprint to the exhibition opening | Unpacking the Universe: The Making of an Exhibition Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2022-08-31 | Over 420 artworks arrive at LACMA and must be installed in less than 3 weeks. See how the curators work to honor the indigenous perspective as the final exhibition comes together and opens to the public. About the documentary video seriesUnpacking the Universe: The Making of an Exhibition is a documentary series that follows the six-year journey of LACMA’s curators Diana Magaloni and Julia Burtenshaw researching, developing, and installing The Portable Universe / El Universo en tus Manos. The series allows us to be transparent about how the team facilitated a collaborative process with the Arhuaco community in Colombia and curators at different institutions and kept this spirit of collaboration alive in the way the exhibition was installed.Among many topics, the documentary features scenes of breathtaking landscapes and archeological sites; conversations with Mamo Camilo Izquierdo and Jaison Perez Villafaña regarding the Arhuaco worldview and how this relates to contemporary social and environmental issues; and behind-the-scenes footage of preparing the exhibition, including new initiatives around museum stewardship of Indigenous works.

Eighth R.L. Shep Triennial Symposium: Lee Alexander McQueen | Cycles of Inspiration Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2022-08-30 | In conjunction with the exhibition Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse, renowned scholars and artists explore imagination, artistic process, and innovation in fashion and art to further examine the interdisciplinary impulse that defined McQueen’s career, legacy, and sources of inspiration for the Eighth R.L. Shep Triennial Symposium on Textiles and Dress.The bullfight, or corrida, inspired McQueen’s Spanish-influenced Spring/Summer 2002 collection, The Dance of the Twisted Bull. The costume of the male matador informed the collection’s silhouettes, with accents drawn from the traditional costume of female flamenco dancers. McQueen interpreted the corrida from an outsider’s perspective, but followed in the footsteps of Spanish artists Francisco de Goya and Pablo Picasso, who both drew upon the bullfight in their own practices. Co-curator, Clarissa M. Esguerra, elaborates on McQueen’s collection, while Curator and Head of the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department and the Prints and Drawings Department, Britt Salvesen, discusses Goya and Picasso’s artistic processes in creating their respective "La Tauromaquia" print series. Donor and collector, Regina J. Drucker explores history, cycles of inspiration, and artistic expression that connects McQueen with artists before him, while reflecting on how her Mexican-American heritage drew her to collecting the work of McQueen now in LACMA’s permanent collection.In response to the global pandemic, the Eighth R.L. Shep Triennial Symposium is presented on YouTube as a free video series, released from May through August 2022 on the last Tuesday of each month.R.L. Shep Triennial Symposia are supported by the R.L. Shep Symposium Endowment for Costume and Textiles, LACMA.

In Conversation: Contemporary Mapmakers Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2022-08-09 | Presented in conjunction with the Mixpantli: Contemporary Echoes exhibition, In Conversation: Contemporary Mapmakers surveys works of contemporary artists, Sandy Rodriguez and Mariana Castillo Deball, who take inspiration from the Indigenous cartographic traditions of the Americas, challenging existing narratives about place-making and belonging in both Mexico and Los Angeles. Moderated by Dr. Diana Magaloni the Deputy Director, Program Director and the Dr. Virginia Fields Curator of the Art of the Ancient Americas as well as the Suzanne D. Booth and David G. Booth Conservation Center Director at LACMA.Sandy Rodriguez is a Los Angeles-based artist and researcher. Her work investigates the methods and materials of painting across cultures and histories. Her Codex Rodriguez-Mondragón is made up of a collection of maps and paintings about the intersections of history, social memory, contemporary politics, and cultural production. Mariana Castillo Deball takes a kaleidoscopic approach to her practice, mediating between science, archaeology, and the visual arts and exploring the way in which these disciplines describe the world. Her installations, performances, sculptures, and editorial projects arise from the recombination of different languages that seek to understand the role objects play in our identity and history.This program was originally presented on Zoom on March 30, 2022. ___Mixpantli: Space, Time, and the Indigenous Origins of Mexico and Mixpantli: Contemporary Echoes are co-curated by Dr. Diana Magaloni the Deputy Director, Program Director and the Dr. Virginia Fields Curator of the Art of the Ancient Americas as well as the Suzanne D.
