American Homebody
0:10:44
American Homebody was born out of the lack of a jobsite and the urge to construct a virtual arena of friends, neighbors, families and stay-at-homes. The first issue, in May of 1998, featured the first photograph of the "American Homebody Covergirl" engaged in the pressing task of painting the kitchen in her bachelorette apartment in South Pasadena. The windows looked out towards the San Gabriel Mountains, and the color she chose to adorn the walls was, appropriately, "Valentine."

John McCracken's Red Plank
0:17:30
John McCracken was a pioneering figure of West Coast Minimalism in the 1960s, when many California artists were concerned with issues of light and color. Having begun his career as a painter, he moved toward a more object-based aesthetic, making abstract works in the form of basic geometric shapes such as cubes or quadratic volumes. In 1966 he developed what became his signature sculptural forms: tall, leaning planks made of wood, coated in fiberglass, and then painted with a highly finished lacquer.

The Griffith Observatory
0:30:36
Griffith Observatory's unique architecture and setting, compelling programmatic offerings, and cinematic exposure have made it one of the most famous and visited landmarks in southern California. Tens of millions have come to walk the inside of the building, view the live planetarium shows, or simply gaze out towards the coast and the heavens. This cultural and scientific icon owes its existence to the dream of one man, Griffith Jenkins Griffith, and to the dedicated scientists and public servants who worked to fulfill his vision of making astronomy and observation accessible to all.

The Blue Lagoon
0:43:57
A story of natural love. Two children shipwrecked alone on a tropical island. Nature is kind. They thrive on the bounty of jungle and lagoon. The boy grows tall. The girl beautiful. They swim naked over coral reefs. They run in a cathedral of trees. And the warm winds, the tropic moon, the silk sand conspire to enchant them. When their love happens, it is natural as the sea, and as powerful. Love as nature intended to be.

Moderator Michael Ned Holte discusses Nine Lives: Visionary Artists from L.A. with three of the artists- Lisa Anne Auerbach, Kaari Upson and Charlie White. As all of the artists live and work in L.A., Nine Lives embodies many of the psychic complexities and paradoxes of the city—it is at once beautiful and frightening, refined and unruly. Tireless and prolific, Lisa Anne Auerbach makes work in a wide-range of media including knitting, bicycling, soap-making, photography and writing—she’s practically her a sub-culture of her own. Nine Lives features her handmade sweaters featuring wry jokes and political commentary along with several series of deadpan cover girl/calendar girl photos. Kaari Upson has spent the last four or five years studying a man she’s never met. For her contribution to the exhibition, she’s taken on the iconic Grotto from the Playboy Mansion (a frequent haunt of her main man, Larry), and uses the replica as a site for ridding herself of her subject’s possession over her. Photographer Charlie White ventured into the worlds of teens and transgenders for his new portrait series and his experience researching these communities has inspired a new body of work that’s moved out of Hollywood and into considerably more private terrain. Each of these artists dives head-first into his or her research and obsessions and here they will discuss their individual practices and how their work impacts their personal and professional lives, which often become intertwined.
