Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick’s practice, beginning with his early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s. His films are represented through a selection of annotated scripts, production photography, lenses and cameras, set models, costumes, and props.

Her use of carbon paper points to an outmoded duplication technology that was central to the ability of political groups of earlier generations—such as the civil rights and anti–Vietnam War protests of the 1960s—to disseminate information and opinions. The title of the work is a quotation from the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat who was referring to the proliferation of revolutionary groups and protest movements. MORE >>

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. Tue, Apr 16, 2013-Sun, Sep 15, 2013. In the mid-1400s, many celebrated artists, goldsmiths, silversmiths and engravers were attracted by the abundance of wealth in the city of Florence, but the most important factor in this gathering of talent was the presence of the Medici family. For almost three hundred years, generation after generation of Medici dominated city affairs and steered the course of art history. It was the Medici family who funded the workshops of these artists and artisans, who commissioned and collected the masterpieces of art and antiquity. From founding father to the last Grand Duke, the immense power and wealth of this great dynasty was invested in its legendary collections, of which the collection renowned as the Gems of the Medici is perhaps the finest in the world. This world premier exhibition highlights some of the oldest and most unique pieces of the Medici collections including antiquities dating from the 1st Century BCE as well as a cornelian which was part of the Seal of Nero.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. Sun, Apr 21, 2013-Sun, Jun 16, 2013. Conceived as notes toward the making of a future film, a new project by London-based collective The Otolith Group treats the format of an exhibition as an exercise in writing, and attempts to give preparatory notes, archival materials and preliminary sketches shape as a form of speculative screenplay or notebook-film. For their first work produced within the U.S., Neophyte is an inquiry into the gradual spiritualization of Capitalism, and the state of California as a test-ground for both the importation of Hindu guru culture and the ideology of post-war production in the 1960s and ’70s. The Otolith Group’s investigation into the cybernetic subcultures, musical presences and sentient entities distributed throughout the spiritual landscapes and industrial parks of Los Angeles and San Francisco proposes a possible future, envisioned through an improbable present. Hypothetically titled Neophyte, the project is the materialization of a cinema that documents its own quest for places, spaces and subjectivities yet to be defined. MORE >>

Fischer's work is characterized by an unending diversity of materials, strategies, concepts, and images. Sculptures are created through an elaborate aluminum casting process, roughly hewn in wood, or cast in wax only to melt away during the run of the exhibition. MORE >>

Jones was inspired by a photograph of a wounded guerrilla fighter taken by Pedro Meyer in Nicaragua in the early 1980s. The selection of works is loosely based upon aspects of this powerful and disturbing photograph; among them are the nudity and concealment of the subject’s body, its status as a document of the trauma of war, and the notion that its subject has made a sacrifice for a higher purpose. The exhibition also asks two separate questions—How is it possible to make an image of revolution? How is it possible to make a religious image?—and suggests that they have profound connections.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. Sat, May 25, 2013-Sun, Aug 25, 2013. Neil Beloufa’s films focus on the slippery line between fiction and reality. He sets up situations in which both amateurs and professional actors explore enigmatic subjects ranging from extraterrestrials to nationalism, terrorism, and the future. During his Hammer residency in 2012, Beloufa produced a new film exploring the iconography of the red bandana. Disparate political movements and subcultures—including gangsters, hippies, rock stars, cowboys, and anarchists—have long adopted the red bandana as a sign of affiliation or camaraderie. In his installation, Production Value (2013) Beloufa uses the red bandana as a vehicle in which to examine such subcultures and how these groups interact with each other and wrestle with existential issues when faced with a great catastrophe. Production Value will be screened in an installation designed by the artist in the Hammer’s video gallery. MORE >>

Sat, Aug 17, 2013. With the use of Quantum of Solace, an original Ian Fleming James Bond story title, there now remains only four unused original Fleming titles that could possibly have been used as a title for this film. These are, "The Property of a Lady", "The Hildebrand Rarity", "Risico" and "007 in New York" (aka "Agent 007 in New York"). However, none of these were used in favor of the original title, 'Skyfall.' At one point it was rumored that this film would be shot in New York, leading to gossip that it would be based on the Fleming short story "007 in New York;" however, it turned out to be untrue and it appears that New York was never under consideration.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. Fri, Apr 26, 2013-Sun, Oct 20, 2013. This exhibition is a newly-produced, career-spanning overview while emphasizing the artist’s mature work. Whereas cubism and surrealism had been common among his predecessors, Mendive instead incorporates visual elements rooted in Lukumi/Yoruba visual traditions into his painting. The exhibition and publication trace Mendive’s drawing, painting, sculpture, and performances from the early 1960s to the present, giving special focus to discrete themes common across his work, including religion, nationalism, and memory. Mendive’s most significant work, which forms the central conceptual and physical focus of the project, are his 1960s and 1970s series “Yoruba Mythology” and “Middle Passage,” and his performances in the late 1980s, such as “La Vida.” Each series bears witness to both the time and place of its making, showing the artist’s growth and development, but also testifying to his deep commitment to Afro-Cuban culture and the art of painting in addition to his concerns around the nature of religion and its visual language.

Fri, Jun 7, 2013. The first instinct when listening to Grace Potter sing might admittedly be to involuntarily write her off. Attractive blonde songstress hires backing band to give her cred while she performs adult contemporary ballads she had no hand in writing herself. Been there, done that, with countless girls who have followed this tried-and-true formulaic method, right? Except, y’know, that’s really not the case at all with Ms. Potter. Unlike those other “frontwomen,” who start bands because they need breaks from their difficult lives as models and actresses, Potter is actually a very legit musician. The fact that she looks like if Heidi Klum dove headfirst into Silver Lake is really a minor point by comparison. Underneath her modelesque stature, Potter’s got the soul of a purebred rock ’n’ roller. Mixing smooth and sultry crooning with the occasional sandpaper-and-Jack Daniel’s howling, Potter evokes everything from the Followill brothers to Johnny Cash to Courtney Love in her music. That is, if Courtney could actually sing, play an instrument or not be a train wreck for like, more than two minutes. I don’t even care that VH1 seems to apparently love her, I still jam to Potter’s tracks. And my loathing of VH1 is well documented in the annals of Frequency, so you should all know by now just how much that says about how good Potter is and how worth your time she is as well. - Brien Overly MORE >>

Weighing in at 847 pounds and eight-feet in length, the Eroica generates tones even lower than the bass marimba. Partch wrote, “In the right room acoustically, the Eroica is felt through the feet, against the belly, and, if one sits on the floor, it ripples through [one’s] bottom. It is very difficult to put on tape, and especially, on records, with any fidelity.” Experience this rippling, earth-shaking concert event that includes the works Plectra and Percussion Dancesand Dance Pantomime (King Oedipus).

Fri, Jun 7, 2013. I was planning on starting this article by saying something pretentious, to the effect of “I remember seeing the Maine back in 2007 on Warped when no one knew or cared who they were. And I had to walk in the snow to get to their stage, despite it being the middle of August and the tour being in Miami or Phoenix that day.” Or something. Then I thought to myself, “Wait, I did see them while they and I were on the tour, didn’t I?” And while trying to quickly research this to verify my claim, it seems their existence on the ’07 Warped Tour has been completely erased from the Internet’s collective memory. But it definitely happened. I definitely saw the Maine play in some godforsaken dirt field in the boondocks of like, Idaho or somesuch. But … the point of this is to say that they’ve come a long way in those three years, and I give a lot of credit to bands that have paid their dues, as opposed to the prepackaged media stars that seem to populate this scene right now. Even more credit is to be given for the fact that their brand of emo-pop is actually palatable on top of all that and doesn’t fall into the some of the more common clichés. Also along to open up these shows are This Century, who I’ve grown to like quite a bit in the few short hours between starting this week’s column and getting to this point in writing. Much in the same musical vein as the Maine, the Tempe-bred foursome write sing-along pop jams that are girlfriend-friendly, but still feel like you’re listening to a grownup band. - Brien Overly MORE >>

Sat, Jul 6, 2013. So, have Rx Bandits always been good? Because I’m going to feel like a massive d-bag if that’s the case and I’m like, 13 years late on this train. They’ve always been that band in the periphery of my chosen music scene, the band that I never really gave a serious listen to and never really cared much about until now. I don’t even have a good reason for blocking them out of my aural field, like that I have a secret feud with one of the members or that one of them has some kind of Disney affiliation, which are the usual reasons I purposefully ignore bands. Maybe it was some of the genre tags that have been loosely thrown around in association to them. Maybe it was some of the early touring mates the band associated with. Maybe I’m even more pretentious with my taste than I give myself credit for. But then, if that were the case, I would’ve totally started this show pick off by claiming I’ve been into this band since I was in high school, as is the case with some other d-bag writers. Instead, I’ll own up to the fact that I wish I would’ve discovered this band a lot earlier than I did, despite them being on the Required Listening playlist for anyone entering the punk rock scene. Specifically the Warped Tour scene, at that. These dudes can write a catchy melodic rock song that sounds mature while being anything but “adult contemporary.” Drawing from a multitude of stylistic influences, these guys have been playing for well over a decade and the years of practice show in their craftsmanship. - Brien Overly MORE >>

The frequent use of his music in TV and film—including hit shows such as Scrubs (on which he has made several cameo appearances) and Army Wives, the hit sound track to the film Garden State and the recently released Morning Glory—has proven the timeless appeal of his songs: quizzical, curious, cynical yet open-hearted.

Sat, Jul 20, 2013. My original thought process for how to best describe hardcore band Dillinger Escape Plan was to say that frontman Greg Puciato might actually be the human avatar of chaos. Until I realized the word “avatar” has completely and utterly lost all meaning to me over the last many months. But alas, I have an analogy that is better, yet. When dudes do illogical things that are reaffirming to their masculinity, Dillinger is the soundtrack running through their heads as they do it. Bar fights, guerilla warfare, hunting large or venomous animals, drinking Jack Daniel’s straight, drag races, that one weekend in Vegas they don’t talk about, y’know, activities along those lines. Things that feel really epic at the time, until a few days later when you realize you’ve lost a tooth, an extremity or your pride. Likewise, being in the middle of a Dillinger show is indeed as epic as it sounds, but if you’ve gotten the full experience, you’ll be feeling the physical effects of it for a few days afterward. So make sure you’ve still got a few sick days left you can make use of, just in case, because these guys put on a hardcore show like no other. Trust me, if you go to this show, you’ll never look at live music or rock the same way again. Granted, nothing looks quite the same when you lack depth perception because one of your eyes is swollen completely shut, but the statement still works on a number of levels. - Brien Overly MORE >>

Sun, Sep 22, 2013. Seriously, everyone is buzzing about M83 right now, and it seems the indie-electro-art-pop act’s singles are popping in the most unexpected of marketing placements. I never thought a Victoria’s Secret commercial would actually resonate with me, but apparently lingerie-clad models being fierce to a soundtrack of “Midnight City” can really make a bra-panty set seem … emotive? Weird. I guess it’s a testament to one’s music when it can make even the most mundane, or gimmicky, things seem monumentally epic and emotionally important. I mean, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want that song as my soundtrack for walking down the street too. Fully clothed, that is. - Brien Overly MORE >>

Sat, Oct 5, 2013. Not infrequently, I’ll say it’s impossible to not like an artist I’ve chosen for a show pick that particular week, and usually I’m pretty right on with those assertions. This time is a little different, though. John Mayer is admittedly very easily unlikable. I’d even go so far as to say he’s very easily dislikable … as a person, though. Not as a musician. No matter how much of a d-bag he comes off as in interviews and via his Twitter, moms and girlfriends still inexplicably love him. Apparently none of them have Internet connections, but that’s a different story. Point being, you’ll earn some major points for scoring tickets to this show and, at the very least, the dude is really, really good on his guitar, despite the personality behind the hands. - Brien Overly MORE >>

Wed, Oct 16, 2013. I oft reference the shortlist of singer-songwriters who can reduce my otherwise snarky and jaded ass to a sniffling and weepy-eyed state only properly communicated via emoticon faces. With his signature soft and introspective crooning, City and Colour frontman Dallas Green usually places solidly within the top two spots of that list, the only candidate capable of giving Thrice’s Dustin Kensrue a legitimate battle for my affections. As such, I’m equally stoked and dreading his arrival at one of my favorite L.A. venues. I mean, considering the lack of love SoCal got from Green last year between City and his other act Alexisonfire, I’m of course very happy he’s finally making an appearance at a more intimate venue. On the other hand, it means a whole lot of people are going to see me badly fake having something in my eye(s) or having an allergic response to … something. You guys know how I am about maintaining my icy exterior of elitism around others. Dallas doesn’t afford me that decorum, so you understand my dilemma here. Though Green’s lyrics are heart-wrenchingly brutal in their honesty and vulnerability at times, he’s also a master of pulling out the optimism when things get too heavy, so I think I’ll have to take my chances. And if you happen to see me at the show in what appears to be a weakened emotional state, I’ll preemptively offer this: It’s because I have an … eye infection … and I was probably sweating, and you didn’t see nothing, you hear? - Brien Overly MORE >>

Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays. Thu, Jun 6, 2013-Sun, Jun 16, 2013. Inspired by astronaut Lisa Nowak's 2007 arrest for the attempted murder of a romantic rival, Starcrosser’s Cut is an inner-space detective story, a cassette symphony in the tradition of Krapp's Last Tape, and an indictment of the nihilism of the US Space Program.

Through a labyrinth of tape edits and revisions within revisions, the play takes an unflinching look at the "crimes that are ours to do" - those beyond guilt. From jail cell to Space Shuttle, the mystery that emerges is not whether Lisa did it - it's whether a crime can cease to be a crime, or can cease to be entirely. MORE >>
