Friday evening, artist Liz Glynn will discuss her current exhibition The Myth of Singularity, a suite of eight bronze sculptures placed throughout the LACMA campus.

Her talk begins at 7:30 pm in the Brown Auditorium.

From 10:30 am to 6:50 pm, Mortilla will accompany all four of the exhibition's silent films, creating an improvised piano score for each as the day unfolds.
