Pencil This In: Animation at Cinefamily, Machine Project-Boing Boing's Meetup and Art and Architecture Talks
ARCHITECTURE TALK
The Architecture + Design Museum of Los Angeles welcomes Olson Kundig Architects’ Paul Schlachter for the program Craft, Kinetcs and Hot Rodding. The Seattle firm’s portfolio encompasses a wide range of national and international projects and Sclacter’s own work includes the Casey Family Programs Headquarters, a mixed-use high-rise hotel in downtown Seattle, private residences and a winery in Santa Ynez, California. Tickets available at the door: $10, students $5, free for A+D members. Doors open at 6 pm and the event begins at 6:30 with a light reception to follow.
ANIMATION*
The Cinefamily presents Jerry Beck's Animation Tuesdays tonight at 8 pm. On the big screen is a rare 35 mm showing of Allegro Non Troppo, the 1976 musical feature from Italian animator Bruno Bozzetto. It’s a feature-length parody of Fantasia, where Bozzetto “visualizes Ravel's “Bolero” as an Evolutionary Fantasy, one that supposes life began as germs from a discarded Coke bottle; Vivaldi's “Concerto in C” is the backdrop of an insect revenge senario; and, Sibelius' “Valse Triste” is used for a poignant tale of an abandoned house cat.” In keeping with the theme, Beck will open the evening with classic short animations by Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett and Friz Freleng that use classical music as their basis. $10 tickets.
ART TALK
Live Talks Los Angeles presents artist Bob Neuwirth in Conversation with David Felton tonight at 8 pm at Track 16 Gallery in Bergamot Station. The talk coincides with the closing of the retrospective, Overs & Unders: Paintings by Bob Neuwirth, 1964 - 2009. David Felton of the Los Angeles Times will interview Neuwirth on his 45-year career that encompasses pating, sculpture, filmmaking and music. Tickets: $20; $95 for a pre-event reception from 6:30 to 7:30 pm with Neuwirth and Felton. Net proceeds from this event support Southern California Public Radio, KPCC 89.3.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
