Description
The exhibit presents a group of rare and visually stunning artworks from different cultures and time periods to explore the variety of human attempts to explain the universe’s origins, mechanics, and meaning. Nearly every ancient culture has seen the heavens as a mirror of cosmic structure and process, and ancient measurements of time were directly influenced by the movements of heavenly bodies. Mapping the Infinite reveals how, as religions evolved, cultures conceived of and depicted cosmic deities and concepts of time and space through works of art and sacred architecture. The exhibition illuminates this history of cosmologies around the globe from the Stone Age to the present, from Neolithic Europe to the present day and including Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, the Islamic Middle East, the Indigenous Americas, Northern Europe, and the United States.

Description
In 1680, the Pueblo Revolt began. Led by Po’pay, the members of this historic uprising were successful in expelling the colonizers from their homelands, and for twelve years after freeing themselves, the Pueblos of New Mexico lived free from Castilian rule and influence. In 1692, the Spanish returned with a vengeance and stole the lands again. In ReVOlt 1680/2180, a contemporary retelling of this history by visionary Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz, the 1680 rebels will have more resources and aid, and their territories will be secure once and for all.  Adults — $18, Students and Seniors — $14, Children (3–12) — $8, Free hours Tuesday and Wednesday from 1—4 p.m. Advanced registration is required for free days.

Tuesdays – Fridays 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturdays – Sundays 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Description

PST ART will be hosting PST ART + Science Family Festival at the La Brea Tar Pits. This first of its kind FREE festival will be a hit with families and kids of all ages!  From exploring space, to digging into fossils and imagining future worlds, there’s something for everyone on from Saturday, November 9 through Monday, November 11, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information, visit: https://pst.art/en/events/familyfestival.

 

As part of the PST ART: Art and Science Collide, DCA’s Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery features Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics, presented by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions LACE, now through January 5, 2025.

Curated by LACE’s former Chief Curator/Director of Programs Daniela Lieja Quintanar with Ana Briz, the project weaves together an exhibition, public programming, performances, educational workshops, and study groups as an evocation of the late Beatriz da Costa’s (1974–2012) approach to the intersections of ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge.

 

PST ART + Science Family Festival is part of PST Art: Art & Science Collide, presented by Getty, hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County at La Brea Tar Pits, and produced by the Edinburgh Science Festival.
