The month-long Jimi Hendrix photography exhibition at the Celebrity Vault in Beverly Hills opened last week to a crowd of fans and high rollers willing to spend up to $40,000 on images of the rock legend. “Hendrix Revealed: A Life Through The Lens” includes photography by rock photographers Ed Caraeff, Eddie Kramer, David Montgomery, Bruce Fleming, David Redfern, Gered Mankowitz, Robert M. Knight, Jerry Schatzberg, Herb Schmitz, Dezo Hoffman, Barry Peake, David Magnus, Baron Wolman,......

It has been almost a year since the massive Griffith Park fire. In a short time, the blaze ripped through Los Angeles' beloved outdoor space, charring 800 acres and destroying popular spots such as the bird sanctuary and Dante's View. After the fire settled, the now 33-year-old photographer Colin Brown took a walk with his dog and photographed what he saw. The images are haunting, sad and unexpected. Beginning Saturday night, his photos will be......

As part of LA Art Weekend, which runs through Sunday, the Storefront for Art & Architecture of New York City opened their first of many worldwide temporary pop-up stores in Los Angeles last night. What are these pop-up stores? Well, they are becoming quite ubiquitous, albeit in spurts, around the city. Trendwatching.com rhetorically answers: "If new products can come and go, why can't the stores that display them do the same?" The show at Paperchase......

As we reported in January, Robert Culp wants the LA Zoo's current elephant enclosure shut down and all construction on the new enclosure halted, due to alleged pachyderm cruelty. Yesterday, the judge's ruling in the case was made public and he issued a big "no." Despite claims from former zoo employees and animal activists that LA zoo elephant handlers have a history of abusing the elepehants, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reginald A. Dunn said......

I woke this morning with a start (yes, a start!) and realized that I might, maybe, (oh my gosh did I?) have missed the Murakami exhibit at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. When a huge exhibit opens I either hit it on opening weekend or I wait it out. I wait until all the newspaper reviews have faded, I wait until the crowds have thinned, I wait until people are over it and have......

It ends tonight at 9 p.m., and really, an art walk is more fun at night anyway. Tonight lends itself well as a great chance to go see © Murakami Exhibit at the MOCA that we told you about back in October. If not that, from comedy to smaller art galleries, the Downtown Art Walk is worth a trek to LA's central core. And if you head towards The Edison first, happy hour runs......

Feeling a little lazy. Maybe a little experimental. We ordered in. We refused the nice bike ride to the grocery store. We said no to the nice farmers at the market. We skipped going out for dinner. Instead, we went online and pressed "yes" to delivered organic fruits and veggies. To live in a city with farmer's markets everywhere, it just feels so lazy to do this. But when we opened that box, we......

Watercolor elephants balanced atop dripping tomatoes? Pink giraffes perched precipitously on a finite plane? Who doesn't like elephants, giraffes, and tomatoes? No one? Splendid, because these subjects make the most of it in this curious one-man show at Haus Gallery in Pasadena. With a style reminiscent of a surrealist Richard Scarry, Müller imbues his work with a subtle sense of irony and whimsy that invites visitors to explore weightier issues such as the passage......

So, you're seen the banners (Bruce, and otherwise) all over town, hanging from lightposts. You've wondered what they are all about. Well, it's time to activate your latent mutant genes, and go find out for yourself at the California Science Center. Last month they opened the brand spanking new Marvel Superheroes Science Exhibit, and it's one of the most exciting and innovative ways we've seen to get both children and adults interested in science.......

Pepperdine's Weisman Museum has been hosting a show since November featuring the stunning works of world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. Art glass has been evolving in scope and popularity in recent years, with many emergent artists in the medium who cite Chihuly as both mentor and influence. This exhibition spans two floors of the museum, and features an installation of works that "include an overview of the many shapes and structures he developed over......

Day 3 Recap: - It was revealed last night that the undisclosed location Dick Cheney has been known to frequent was actually the dark side of the moon, so removed from reality was his assessment of the successes thus far of the Bush administration. After polishing the President's non-existent laurels, he launched into a mean spirited attack on John Kerry that was dishonest, dishonorable, and, alas, highly effective. - Zell Miller completed his conversion......
