Betye Saar's wearable talismans, clay and land at Craft Contemporary, ten years of Sprüth Magers, and Iñárritu's commission at LACMA. Four stops, a mile and a half of Wilshire.
Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles
Celebrating a decade of the gallery's Los Angeles program, this ambitious group exhibition fills the 10,000-square-foot space on Wilshire Boulevard and spills into the disused dining room of a former Sizzler restaurant down the street. Artists across generations, from John Baldessari, Barbara Kruger, Robert Irwin and Bridget Riley to younger voices, are loosely organized around the periods and movements that have shaped Spruth Magers' program since 2016.

LACMA
This multisensory installation draws from unused footage created during the making of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s debut feature Amores Perros. Never-before-seen film fragments are presented through an array of 35mm projectors, accompanied by recorded sounds of Mexico City. Removed from narrative structure, the work treats film as material composed of time, light, and space, reframing discarded images as an immersive visual environment.
