Event at The Getty
Modern Art in Los Angeles: Jerry McMillan, Ed Ruscha, and Mason Williams (panel discussion and performance)
Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Getty Center, Harold M. Williams Auditorium
Admission: Free; reservations required. Call (310) 440-7300 or use the "Make Reservation" button below.
In the 1940s, Oklahoma City produced a group of three young men who would go on to have a profound influence on American art, music, and photography. Jerry McMillan, Ed Ruscha, and Mason Williams were childhood friends, neighbors, and classmates who drove west on Route 66 after leaving high school to pursue their artistic dreams. Their destination was the seductive palm tree-lined shores of California.
Fifty years later, each is a distinguished artist in his respective field. This panel discussion reunites these friends, who will discuss their transition from Oklahoma to the City of Angels, their early careers, and the formation of an indigenous art scene in Los Angeles.

Banksy's September Visit
Banksy has left his mark on a few places since he has been back to town. This is what I am aware of:
On Melrose Ave across the street from Urban Outfitters

Have I missed anything else from this recent visit of his? I know there is a piece on Beverly Blvd of a stencil of a person with the caption "you look better on myspace" that kind of looks like Banksy's style, but most people aren't sure he did it.
Banksy's L.A. Weekly interview (which just came out today) can be read here.
Also, check out these secret press preview photos of Banksy's show here! (Thanks to Sean Bonner's metroblogging post for the heads up).
That is indeed a live elephant.

"LA Souls: Portraits of Los Angeles in it’s 224th year" is an photo exhibit of Los Angeles photographers shots of Downtown and it's people during the year. Shown together to celebrate a city’s 225th birthday. The most photogenic city in the world has photographers living, working or simply shooting Downtown with an intimate POV to form a dialog of people and place. Without exploiting myth, they gathered evidence of a city and by chance present a community as art.
