LACMA is having previews of the new building before any art installations and I really wanted to see that. It’ll never look like this again, and the way it looks now, one can only wonder how is this going to work?! Concrete walls, ceilings, floors, and sooo much glass. Let’s see how ‘they’ do it!
For three nights as well as a preview of the building, they had a mind-boggling concert of a piece by Kamasi Washington and 100+ musicians in 9 ensembles spread throughout the one large undulating space of concrete and glass, all playing, amplified, at the same time. At the same time, and not together, oh no, it was LOUD, so So Very Loud.
Rick and Jim met me and we experienced this event together. Here are some pictures:
Below find 3 of the 9 ensembles that included a large choir without a picture.

The Japanese Pavilion stays the same and is reflected below.
There were many interior spaces done up for a handball court.

And what’s a visit to LACMA without a swing by Levitated Mass.
