Director’s Note 

October was one of the busiest single months in lacma’s history. We opened four exhibitions (California Design, Monet/ 

Lichtenstein, Mural Remix, and Glenn Ligon) and celebrated the spectacular closing of Tim Burton on Halloween weekend. 

We saw the launch of our new Film Independent at lacma film series, led by Elvis Mitchell. And of course no one could 

miss the well-publicized transport of the 340-ton boulder that is to be part of Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass. We also 

announced plans to help the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences realize its dreams of creating a long-overdue 

Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles (see News & Highlights). 

So much activity last month hardly means we’re slowing down for November and December. I am looking forward to 

seeing the ambitious exhibition Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World, organized by lacma curator Ilona Katzew, on 

view in the Resnick Pavilion starting November 6. The exhibition represents lacma’s commitment to the wealth of Latin 

American art from all periods, and in particular the museum’s efforts in recent years to build an impressive collection of 

Spanish colonial art, much of which is on view alongside loans from around the world for this extraordinary show. 

In addition to our many special exhibitions, our permanent collection galleries continue to transform. In December 

I am pleased to see objects from our Chinese art collection go on view in the Hammer Building—the first time this 

collection has been on view in more than five years. Stephen Little, head curator of Chinese art, and assistant curator 

Christina Yu, have organized a “greatest hits” sampling of our collection, spanning thousands of years through roughly 

forty beautiful objects. 

Finally, be sure to see the small but powerful exhibition, Monet/Lichtenstein, on the third floor of bcam through January 2. 

There have certainly there never been five of Monet’s Rouen Cathedral paintings in one room in California, and in fact 

two of these paintings have never been seen anywhere in the United States. The installation, quite simple and quite 

beautiful, speaks to the fact that over a hundred years ago Monet was working in series, as a very contemporary artist 

would; at the same time, Roy Lichtenstein’s dot paintings can be seen much more deeply for their beautiful coloristic and 

painterly qualities. It is a rare and thoughtful exhibition, not to be missed.

contested visions 

in the spanish colonial world 

November 6, 2011–January 29, 2012 | Resnick Pavilion 

Member Preview Days: November 4–5 

This groundbreaking exhibition offers a comparative view of the 

two principal viceroyalties of Spanish America—Mexico and 

Peru—from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Featuring 

some two hundred extraordinary artworks, the exhibition 

addresses the continuation of pre-conquest forms and styles after 

the conquest, and the multiple contexts in which indigenous 

peoples were represented in the colonial period. By taking into 

consideration the pre-Columbian—Inca and Aztec—origins of these 

two vast geopolitical regions and their continuities and ruptures 

over time, Contested Visions offers an arresting perspective on how 

art and power intersected in the Spanish colonial world.

news & highlights 

lacma and Academy to Develop Film Museum 

lacma and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and 

Sciences (ampas) have taken a step toward realizing an 

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in the historic 

May Company building, currently known as lacma 

West. The two organizations have signed a memorandum 

of understanding, paving the way for ampas to 

begin developing plans for its museum and modifications 

to the historic site. The Academy hopes to sign a 

long-term lease for the facility, and will retain autonomy 

over all aspects of its museum while benefiting 

from lacma’s experience in managing a premier arts 

institution. 

Art + Film Gala Honors Clint Eastwood, 

John Baldessari 

On November 5, lacma will hold its inaugural Art + 

Film Gala, honoring two titans of the art and film 

worlds—actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood and artist 

John Baldessari. The evening, co-chaired by actor 

Leonardo DiCaprio and lacma trustee Eva Chow and 

sponsored by Gucci, celebrates Los Angeles’s place as 

the hub of the film industry and an international center 

for contemporary art. Proceeds from the event will be 

used to support lacma’s initiative to make film more 

central to the museum’s curatorial program, while also 

funding lacma’s broader mission. 

Megalith to Arrive Soon 

The 340-ton boulder that is to make up one part of 

Michael Heizer’s monumental artwork Levitated Mass is 

currently slated to arrive at lacma in early November. 

Plans to transport one of the largest megalithic objects 

to be moved since ancient times—from a quarry in 

Riverside, California—involve a circuitous route 

through three counties on roads that can accommodate 

the massive object and its specially built transporter. 

Once on site, construction crews will complete the 

456-foot-long slot in the earth, as well as other finishing 

touches. Transportation of the boulder is made possible 

by Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. Visit lacma.org for more 

coverage of the transportation and news of when 

Levitated Mass will go on view to the public. 

Burden and Nauman Artworks Installed in bcam 

As previously reported in Connect, two large-scale 

artworks are scheduled to go on view in bcam this fall: 

Chris Burden’s Metropolis II and Bruce Nauman’s For 

Beginners (all the combinations of the thumb and fingers). Visit 

lacma.org for details, including opening date and 

Member Preview Days. 

Chinese Collection Opens in December 

In December, works from lacma’s Chinese art collection 

will be on view for the first time in more than five 

years in the museum’s Hammer Building. The installation 

features highlights from lacma’s broad collection 

that spans more than four thousand years, ranging 

from Neolithic potteries and jades to finely embroidered 

nineteenth-century silk textiles. 

Reviews Are in for lacma Exhibitions 

lacma’s recently opened exhibitions affiliated with 

Pacific Standard Time have received praise. The Los 

Angeles Times called California Design “an uncommonly 

rich and layered show,” while Asco: Elite of the Obscure 

is “a thorough and absorbing retrospective” that is “a 

prime example of the importance of the Getty-sponsored 

Pacific Standard Time.” kcrw’s Art Talk called Maria 

Nordman FILMROOM: SMOKE, 1967–Present “a welcome 

summer breeze of an installation.” In contrast, the same 

program called Edward Kienholz’s civil rights work 

Five Car Stud “an amazingly powerful work” that “will 

remain unsettlingly relevant as long as we live in a 

world perpetually rattled by violence.” All four exhibitions 

are on view now.

This exhibition was co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the 

Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Mexico. It was made possible 

in part by Camilla Chandler Frost, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the 

National Endowment for the Humanities. 

Additional support was provided by Alice and Nahum Lainer; Betty and Brack Duker; 

Ambassador Frank and Kathy Baxter; Carl and Marilynn Thoma Foundation; 

Derek Johns, Ltd., London; Coll & Cortés, Madrid; and Janet Dreisen Rappaport.

FILM 

Film INDEPENDENT AT LACMA 

Presenting sponsor 

La Terra Trema 


In his 1948 film about a fishermen’s village on the 

Sicilian coast, director Luchino Visconti employs a 

documentary-like intimacy to tackle one of his recurring 

themes: the destruction of a family by unfettered 

ambition. 

Screening in conjunction with the series Days of Glory: Masterworks 

of Italian Neo-Realism (October 15–November 16), presented by the 

ucla Film & Television Archive and the Istituto Italiano di 

Cultura in Los Angeles. Visit the Archive’s website for more 

information: http://cinema.ucla.edu. 

Shame 


In director Steve McQueen’s follow-up to his award-winning 

debut, Hunger, star Michael Fassbender plays a sex addict 

whose compulsion for physical intimacy inexorably 

grinds away at the borders of his personal and professional 

worlds. 

Film Independent, lacma Film Club, and New York Times Film 

Club members only (free). Limit two tickets per membership. Visit 

lacma.org for more information. 

Co-presented with The New York Times Film Club. 

Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel 


Director Alex Stapleton’s fascinating and entertaining 

documentary about producer-director Roger Corman, 

one of the American cinema’s most compelling figures, 

explores Corman’s vast body of work and offers insight 

from luminaries who flourished under Corman’s 

tutelage. In person: Roger Corman and Alex Stapleton. 

Other guests to be announced. 

The Descendants 


After an eight-year absence, director Alexander Payne 

returns to the big screen with an adaptation of Kaui 

Hart Hemmings’s novel about a father, played by George 

Clooney, who has to collect the floating wreckage of his 

family after his wife is involved in a tragic boating 

accident. In person: Alexander Payne, stars George 

Clooney and Shailene Woodley, and producer Jim Burke.

Reitman’s readings of canonical film scripts will once 

again feature surprise casts revisiting screen classics. 

Details to come! 

Spotlight on Studio Ghibli 

November 26 | 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm | New 35mm prints! 

Founded in 1985 by directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao 

Takahata and producer Toshio Suzuki, Japan’s Studio 

Ghibli has produced some of the most renowned 

animated films of all time. Infused with fantastical 

folklores, Miyazaki’s spectacular adventures are almost 

always told from the point of view of an itinerant child, 

though they also bear deeply felt emotions and adult 

concerns. The double bill features Castle in the Sky and 

Spirited Away. 

Spotlight on Aki Kaurismaki 


Corman’s World 

Spirited Away 

The delectably sardonic and bittersweet films of Finnish 

writer-director Aki Kaurismaki remain little seen in the 

United States (with the exception of his Oscar-nominated 

2002 film The Man Without a Past). Kaurismaki’s films are 

equal parts Beckettian comedy, kitchen-sink melodrama, 

and inebriated Nouvelle Vague lyricism. The double 

bill features La Vie de Bohème (1992) and Drifting Clouds (1996). 

Awaara 


In 1951, Awaara (The Vagabond) was a global sensation for 

actor and director Raj Kapoor, who was one of the first 

Hindi directors to receive wide recognition and acclaim 

outside of India. Kapoor is synonymous with the rise of 

Bollywood and is revered throughout the world for the 

films he made during the Golden Age of Indian cinema. 

Awaara marks the first appearance of Kapoor’s iconic 

tramp alter ego—a sly, charming street urchin who stands 

in for India’s downtrodden—and boasts a twelve-minute 

surrealist dream sequence of staggering proportions. 

New 35mm print available thanks to Raj Kapoor and The Golden 

Age of Indian Cinema, curated by Noah Cowan, artistic director, 

tiff Bell Lightbox, and organized by tiff, iifa, and rk Films with 

the support of the government of Ontario. 

Also sponsored by 

The series is also made possible by grants from the Hollywood 

Foreign Press Association ® and the Academy of Motion Picture 

Arts and Sciences. 

Film tickets: $10 general admission; $7 for lacma members, 

seniors (62+), and students with valid ID; $5 for lacma Film Club, 

Film Independent, and New York Times Film Club Members. Film 

Club members-only pre-sale for December screenings begins 

November 17. For details and tickets, visit lacma.org or call 323 

857-6010.
