This is  the beginning of a blog, and podcasts that will explore contemporary art experiences and events in the Los Angeles area. I'll be covering things that happen at the big museums, like the fantastic day last month when one of the most creative art organizations in L.A., Machine Project, was invited to take over LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) for a day. One a great combo, and kudos to the director of LACMA, Michael Govan, for being both brave and creative about what can happen at the largest art museum in the West. 

We seem to have avoided a tragic closure of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) thanks to the criticism of people like John Knight, and the one person, Eli Broad who really puts his money where his mouth is, when it comes to contemporary art culture in Los Angeles.
