4. ACTIVITIES & THINGS TO DO
CRUEL YOUTH DIARY: Chinese Photography and Video
Now through May 14
at the Hammer Museum
Selected from a recent major gift of works to the Hammer Contemporary Collection by the Haudenschild family, this exhibition focuses on pioneering Chinese photography and video from the 1990s and early 2000s. Cruel Youth Diary looks at a generation of artists whose work responded to a period of tremendous social, political, and economic change in mainland China. Through strategies of Conceptual art, performance, and installation, these artists reflected on and critiqued the visual culture of a burgeoning new China on the cusp of the 21st century.
5. RESIDENT ADS
SEEKING GARDENER
The gardener we’ve had for twenty years had a stroke and is no longer able to work. I would really appreciate referrals of capable gardeners (not just mow and blow) who really care and take pride in doing a good job.
Please send any referrals to greuben@pacbell.net or call or text 310-968-3520. Thank you.
