LOS ANGELES FESTIVAL OF MOVIES 2026 Artillery on the Street
DAY ONE It is the cardinal sin of every writer who’s been based in LA long enough to wax poetic about the various versions of the city that seem to exist in conversation and contradiction with one another at any single point of time. A dilemma that filmmaker and film critic Thom Andersen more or less had the final say on when it comes to cinema through his, now canonical, essay film Los Angeles...
POEMS
The Summer I Couldn’t Sleep Yew trees branched into my veins. Needles pricked my hands my wrists— needles punctured my chest, a harbor for a man-made conduit. Nothing stemmed my desire for you. Nothing stopped the waking hours filled with longing for— I am expected to say: Life and I say: your mouth spreading mine your fingers spreading every mouth of me open the entire sleepless summer I lay...
Linda Rosenkrantz’s Day We talk with the writer behind Peter Hujar's Day about the art of reconstructing a reconstruction
In filmmaker Ira Sachs’ Peter Hujar’s Day (2025), over the course of 76 minutes we hear acclaimed queer New York City photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) recount the contents of his previous day on 18 December 1974 to writer and personal confidant Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), leaving no detail unturned, no cultural figure (ranging from Fran Lebowitz to Susan Sontag) unmentioned. Sachs’...

RADICAL PRINTS: Chicano Prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum at The Huntington
The Smithsonian, the nation’s cultural voice established by Congress in 1846, is under attack. Financially seeded by Englishman James Smithson, who was ostensibly enamored by the great American Experiment, it has since morphed into the world's largest museum,...
JAKE SHEINER at Tyler Park Presents
The title of this exhibition, “Disappear Here,” is a reference to Bret Easton Ellis’s novel Less Than Zero. It alludes to the reality of anonymity in a city in which fame and glamour are the reigning myths. However, the works on hand only reflect these themes in a...
LILY CLARK AND ASH ROBERTS at François Ghebaly
At the center of “Dew Point,” the current exhibition at François Ghebaly, hangs artist Lily Clark’s Inyo (2025), a sculpture of much poetry and power. Clark suspends a large hunk of alabaster from the rafters where water drips from the rock, filling up a steel basin...
ART’S BIRTHDAY: The Anatomy of a Celebration at Marciano Art Foundation
“Thus time goes by,” Robert Filliou writes at the end of Whispered Art History (1963), the short document in which he declares January 17th the official birthday of art. In Filliou’s telling, art begins not with genius or mastery but with an ordinary gesture made...
