Hey Go Check Out the LACMA Homes
Boasting “the largest exhibition of cutting-edge Chicano art ever presented at LACMA”, Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement features works created during the counterculture revolutions of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The exhibition explores the more experimental tendencies within the Chicano art movement—ones oriented less toward painting and declarative polemical assertion than toward conceptual art, performance, film, photo- and media-based art, and “stealthy” artistic interventions in urban spaces. (I guess graffiti is still a bad word to the ears of L.A. county.) Paintings, sculptures, installations, conceptual and performance art, and inter-media works that incorporate film, digital, and sound art make up the museums offerings.
Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement runs from April 6, 2008 through September 1, 2008. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is located on 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036. Admission is $12 for non-members and grants access to the other current exhibitions, members are free. On the second Tuesday of each month, general admission to the permanent galleries and non-ticketed exhibitions is free to all. After 5 pm, you may pay what you wish.
