This Week at LACMA

December 2, 2024

With many works shown in public for the first time, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess: The Finest Disregard offers insights into the artist's fascination with art history books, popular media, cartoons, animation, autobiography, and the humor found in the folds between the layers of everyday life. On Wednesday, December 4, Suarez Frimkess will discuss her inspirations and approaches over the course of more than five decades of art-making at a conversation with curator José Luis Blondet. The exhibition will be open for viewing 30 minutes prior and following the event so you can explore her work alongside the talk.

Families also shouldn't miss our NexGenLA Celebration: Art Meets Innovation on Sunday, December 8, when and existing NexGenLA members are invited to dance, sketch, create, and experience activities for the whole family inspired by the PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibitions at LACMA.
