After years of erecting new buildings on the west side of campus and refurbishing permanent gallery space on the east, the focus can now rightly be on the museum s robust and diverse program. This fall we have no fewer than eight exhibitions opening in addition to three more already on view. Of course, as you ve seen in the news, we are also prepping the newest addition to lacma s campus, Michael Heizer s Levitated Mass, which will open to the public in November along with Chris Burden s Metropolis II and a newly acquired artwork by Bruce Nauman (see below). Five of the exhibitions opening this fall are part of the unprecedented Getty initiative, Pacific Standard Time. Visitors from around the world are coming to Los Angeles to experience this extraordinary collaboration of more than sixty Southern California arts organizations to tell the multifaceted history of art in Los Angeles. I am more than thrilled that lacma s contribution includes the first-ever survey of midcentury California Design and a retrospective of the influential Chicano performance art collective Asco, as well as an exhibition of Ed Kienholz s controversial Five Car Stud, on view for the first time in forty years after being restored by Nancy Reddin Kienholz. Perhaps the most satisfying result of the first two phases of lacma s still ongoing Transformation project is seeing more of our permanent collection on view than ever before. After opening in phases over the last year, our European galleries are now fully open on the third floor of the Ahmanson Building, showcasing a variety of masterpieces, from silver and micromosaics to utterly extraordinary baroque paintings to our world-class seventeenth-century Dutch paintings. Permanent gallery reinstallations are continuing to other areas of the collection: next on the agenda is South and Southeast Asian art. While those galleries get their makeover, many of the objects are traveling to the Museo Nacional de las Culturas in Mexico City for a special exhibition organized by lacma. Whether sending objects from our collection to an international institution, installing a major earthwork on campus, or being a part of a regionwide exhibition initiative, one thing is clear: the world s eyes are on lacma. Michael Govan ceo and Wallis Annenberg Director For questions or comments about Connect, stennent@lacma.org. news & highlights Monumental Artworks by Kruger and Nauman Acquired Barbara Kruger s Untitled (Shafted), commissioned for the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum in 2008 and originally a long-term loan from the artist, has been acquired for the museum by lacma trustee Carole Bayer Sager. The large-scale work stretches up bcam s massive three-story elevator shaft and features a litany of words and phrases in a powerful critique of consumerism. Also just acquired, Bruce Nauman s 2011 video, For Beginners (all the combinations of the thumb and fingers), is a large-scale two-channel video depicting the artist s hands opening and closing in different combinations, following verbal instructions. The artwork, acquired through the generosity of French entrepreneur François Pinault, will go on view in November alongside Chris Burden s Metropolis II. left: Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Shafted), 2008, gift of Carole Bayer Sager, commissioned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum middle: Edward Biberman, I Had a Dream, 1968, purchased with funds provided by the American Art Council Three American Art Acquisitions The newly formed American Art Acquisitions Committee has generously acquired two artworks for lacma s collection: The Piper, a marble sculpture modeled in 1854 by Chauncey Bradley Ives, and Sharecropper, a linocut by the artist Elizabeth Catlett from American art curators made an additional appeal to the American Art Council, which made possible the acquisition of Edward Biberman s powerful portrait of Martin Luther King Jr., I Had a Dream, painted shortly after Dr. King s assassination in I Had a Dream and Sharecropper are on view now in the American art galleries. lacma Displays First Major Public Sculpture by Ai Weiwei On view in lacma s North Piazza through February 12, 2012, Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads is the first major public sculpture by artist Ai Weiwei, recently freed after a widely publicized three-month detention by Chinese authorities. The twelve oversized animal heads are based on sculptures that were originally cast around 1750 and located at the Zodiac fountain in Yuan Ming Yuan in Beijing, then looted by British and French troops in lacma is the only West Coast venue for this traveling installation, previously on view in New York and London and slated to travel to Houston, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. in Indian Art Collection Travels to Mexico India s Universe: Masterworks of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art will go on view October 15 January 29 at the Museo Nacional de las Culturas in Mexico City. The exhibition features 115 objects from lacma s permanent collection one of the most comprehensive collections of South Asian art in the Western hemisphere and explores the elaborate cosmologies of ancient India s three main indigenous religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Brody Condon Video Commissioned for Stark Bar Commissioned exclusively for lacma and made possible by Samantha Spitzer Lucas and the Spitzer Family Foundation, artist Brody Condon has created an eight-hour video performance inspired by choreographer Trisha Brown s Lineup pieces from the 1970s. Featuring costumes designed by Rodarte, the performers were encouraged to improvise but were required to follow three strict rules their twelve-foot poles must stay connected at all times, they should move slowly and constantly, and any viewers encountered could not be touched or spoken to. The result, Line-Up (After Trisha), is on view daily in the Stark Bar. Urban Light Ad Receives Telly Award A 3-D commercial for lacma created last year by director Brian Daly, produced by Mob Scene, and executive produced by lacma trustee Carole Bayer Sager, recently won a Telly Award for best use of 3-D. Now in their thirty-third year, the Telly Awards are devoted to honoring television commercials, video and film productions, and work created for the web from around the world.

3 lacma.org/exhibitions Glenn Ligon: AMERICA October 23, 2011 january 22, 2012 BCAM Glenn Ligon: AMERICA is the first midcareer retrospective of Ligon s work in the United States. The exhibition includes unknown early material and the reconstruction of seminal bodies of work such as his Door paintings, the coal dust Stranger canvases, and the Coloring series. Over the course of his career, Ligon has worked in a variety of media, including painting, neon, installation, video, and print. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ligon became known for work that explores race, sexuality, representation, and language, including his iconic black-and-white text-based paintings that reference the writings of noted African American authors James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Zora Neale Hurston. This exhibition was organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Sponsored by The Los Angeles presentation was made possible in part by The Maurice Marciano Family Foundation, Peter Morton, and the Steven F. Roth Family Foundation. top: Glenn Ligon, Hands, 1996, collection of Eileen Harris Norton, courtesy of the artist and Regen Projects, Los Angeles, Glenn Ligon, photograph by Fredrik Nilsen; bottom: Glenn Ligon, Malcolm X (Version 1) #1, 2000, collection of Michael and Lise Evans, courtesy of the artist and Regen Projects, Los Angeles, Glenn Ligon Monet/Lichtenstein: Rouen Cathedrals October 1, 2011 january 1, 2012 BCAM Claude Monet painted thirty views of Rouen Cathedral between 1892 and 1895 from three or four different viewing positions, all quite close to one another, at different times of day. The series stands as the hallmark of the Impressionists revolutionary and unprecedented artistic movement. More than six decades later, Roy Lichtenstein was inspired to paint his own Cathedral series in the style of Pop art. This exhibition of five Monets and Lichtenstein s Rouen Cathedral (Seen at Five Different Times of the Day), Set III, unites the thematic concerns of these artists and illustrates the connection between modernism and postmodernism. This exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. This exhibition features exceptional loans from the Musée d Orsay. left: Claude Monet, Rouen Cathedral, the portal. Morning Sun, Blue Harmony, 1893, Musee d'orsay, Paris, France (Inv.

6 ASCO: Elite of the Obscure, A Retrospective, Opens September 4 This is the first retrospective to present the wide-ranging work of the Chicano performance and conceptual art group Asco. Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk, Willie Herrón, and Patssi Valdez began as a tight-knit core group of artists in East Los Angeles. Taking their name from the Spanish word for disgust and nausea, Asco set about through performance, public art, and multimedia to respond to turbulent sociopolitical periods in Los Angeles and within the larger international context. The art collective remained active until the mid-1980s, contracting and expanding to include artists and performers such as Diane Gamboa, Sean Carrillo, Humberto Sandoval, and Teddy Sandoval, among others. This exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Williams College Museum of Art. It is made possible in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts, Inc., the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

8 Edward Kienholz: Five Car Stud , Revisited Opens September 4 Edward Kienholz s powerful and provocative Five Car Stud stands as the artist s major civil rights work. In this horrifying life-size tableau, the headlights of four automobiles and a pickup truck illuminate a shocking scene: a group of white men exacting their gruesome punishment on an African American man whom they have discovered drinking with a white woman. On view in the United States for the first time ever, Five Car Stud is a harsh reminder of a shameful part of our history whose traces still linger. This presentation is organized by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark and is jointly presented in Los Angeles by the Getty Research Institute and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, with support from the Getty Foundation.

It comprises a double projection in a room that has two adjacent chambers separated by a wall, screening two films simultaneously. The films were shot on a beach in Malibu with two cameras: one fixed on a tripod and the other hand-held, following the gestures of the actors as if they were directing the film. For this iteration of the work at lacma, Nordman has added a new outdoor element to the film room.

Taking the role of a performative archivist, she extracts, slices, and blows up archival material to create a multimedia installation that provides a constantly shifting glance of Chicano muralism. Mural Remix is part of the multipart exhibition cycle Los Angeles: The Mexican Presence in L.A., , a multiyear project that will culminate in three separate exhibitions held concurrently at the Autry National Center, Fowler Museum, and lacma.

October 30 1 pm Celebrate Halloween and the closing of Tim Burton with six ghoulish classics back-to-back, all starring Burton s idol, Vincent Price, in honor of the star s centenary. Starting with Andre de Toth s House of Wax, in which Price plays an anguished sculptor with a ghastly secret, Price cemented his stature as a fixture of the The Tingler macabre with Kurt Neumann s still chilling The Fly. Among Price s other gothic delicacies are several iconic Edgar Allan Poe adaptations directed by Roger Corman in eye-filing CinemaScope and William Castle s campy entertainment The Tingler. But there s nothing funny about Price s cold-blooded ruthlessness in the cult film Witchfinder General, in which he stars as a small-town tyrant in seventeenth-century rural England. The film program is made possible by the generosity of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Special support provided by the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences.
