About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

On view right now at The Getty is Zoopsia, four pieces by artist Tim Hawkinson. It's the first time the Getty has commissioned art from a living artist, and Queena Kim went to the opening to ask: why is the Getty delving into contemporary art?
