Opening at LACMA is In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States

Remedios Varo, Woman departing from the psychoanalyst's office, 1960.



According to Unframed, the LACMA blog,  In Wonderland presents more than 175 works by nearly 50 women and "is the first exhibition to present a view of surrealist art based on this body of work and to depart from canonical histories of surrealism that privilege its male practitioners and European origins."  I'm excited about going to the opening tonight so I'll share more about the show next week.   In Wonderland opens Sunday, January 26 and runs through May 6th.







Pacific Standard Time's Performance and Public Art Festival continues this weekend. Click here for the schedule. 

If you've been on the PCH lately you have seen the blue and yellow big top, indicating that Cirque du Soleil is back in town.




A mysterious egg appears in the midst of a sparkling insect ecosystem and various emotions play out showcasing the amazing skill and grace of the Cirque du Soleil players.  For information on the show click here and to listen to a great interview with the costume designer click over to KPCC.
