Family festival at ‘Collide’
• PST ART to come to LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits
Explore the intersection between art and science at several programs offered this and the next several months in what is among the largest art events in the world, PST ART: Art + Science Collide.
LACMA
A two-channel film and sculptural installation, “American Artist: The Monophobic Response,” recreates a pivotal 1936 rocket engine test that initiated the United States’ ventures into space. The piece is on view from Fri., Nov. 1, to Mon., Nov. 4, at BCAM at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), 5905 Wilshire Blvd.
Inspired by Octavia Butler’s 1993 novel “Parable of the Sower,” the work was filmed in the Mojave Desert in 2024 and eerily tells of Butler’s prescient visions and present troubling realities.
La Brea Tar Pits
