Cleopatra Exhibit

I got a text this afternoon asking if I wanted to go see Cleopatra. I said yes, thinking we were gonna go watch a movie. Turned out though, it was a traveling exhibit at the Science Center. 

The exhibit was really good and interesting, but it was crowded in there so I got a little stressed and didn’t pay to much attention.

Post It Show 8

We headed over to Sawtelle for some ramen, but we got there easy so we stopped by the GR2 and the Post It Show 8.

I am pretty sure this Mats dude is a Swede…

Who Shot Rock & Roll

We went to KCRW Live show at the Who Shot Rock & Roll exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography. It was a tribute night for T-Rex and Portugal the Man was playing live. The there was a huge line for the actual photo exhibit so we didn’t make it in, we’ll have to come back another day.

We headed to the Bar 107 downtown to send our friend Ina away to her Masters Program with a party. 
They had a photo booth. It was an awesome night!

Levitated Mass

I went to see Andrew Byron speak about 3D typography at the A+D Museum, it was super inspirational!
The museum also had a student typography exhibit that was really cool!

After the typography event, we walked over to LACMA to see the Levitated Mass, they had some kind of event at LACMA with a lot of people – that apparently could not read.

The famous Levitated Mass – a hugh rock!
Taken from the LACMA website: Levitated Mass by artist Michael Heizer is composed of a 456-foot-long slot constructed on LACMA’s campus, over which is placed a 340-ton granite megalith. The slot gradually descends to fifteen feet in depth, running underneath the boulder. As with other works by the artist, such as Double Negative (1969), the monumental negative form is key to the experience of the artwork.

Here’s a video of the mass being transported into the Museum.

Disney’s WonderGround Gallery

Martin Hsu had a couple of pieces in the WonderGround Gallery in Downtown Disney. Today was the opening and artist signing.

After the art gallery we went to the ESPN bar to get a  beer and catch the second half of the Germany-Portugal football game.

I was super excited to go to the Lego store, I LOVE Lego!

They give you a jar and you can fill it up with a mix of your favorite Lego pieces, just like in a candy shop!

Who said Lego is just for kids? They also have the amazing architecture line!

When I was a kid, my older brother had a bunch of Technic Lego that I was never allowed to touch. But I sneaked into his room pretty much everyday after school before he came home and played with it anyway. Today I bought my own!

Unique LA

Unique LA is a design show created as a way to bring local-made design to the masses. 

Martin was there so we stopped by his booth.

Accessories that probably only design geeks would wear.

I really like this; old beer bottles transformed into glasses!

They had a photo booth as well!

Los Angeles is pretty flat…

We stopped by Amoeba after the show, I found this album by Orup, a Swedish artist – I didn’t buy it though.

Culver City Classic Car Show

They had shut down Downtown Culver City and rolled up a bunch of classic cars.
They were all super beautiful and well taken care of! I brought the wrong lens, so I only got close up shots.
