This week, explore the art of Ed Ruscha—including his early works, installations, and ceaseless photographic documentation of the streets of Los Angeles—in the exhibition ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN and engage with the work of the iconic American artist at a series of workshops and events for all ages.
Edition 13 of L.A. Print explores innovative printmaking processes inspired by Ruscha's artistic legacy, highlighting artists and printmakers who specialize in non-toxic or non-traditional materials: Beyond the Press: Material Innovations in Printmaking, on Wednesday, July 31, is a captivating panel discussion featuring Tava Tedesco, Kiyomi Fukui, Amanda Burr, and Carmen Argote, who will explore the intersection of contemporary printmaking and eco-conscious practices.
Families can join Pop Up Art Workshop: Iconic Environments on Friday, August 2, part of our series of exhibition-based drop-in activities; for August's workshops, visitors of all ages will explore ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN, discuss how to transform their environment and language into visual art, and make their own postcard-sized artwork. Andell Family Sundays is also back on August 4 with Ed Ruscha Loves L.A., where young visitors will get inspired to make their own art in a workshop led by LACMA teaching artists.
