'Tim Burton' versus 'Art in the Streets': Here's the skinny This summer, two blockbuster exhibitions are dominating the L.A. art scene, both testing the boundary of what constitutes art and both possessing a strong youth appeal. “Tim Burton,” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art through Oct. 31, is an homage to the wild-haired film director of such movies as “Edward Scissorhands” and “Ed Wood.” The show features 700 works from Burton's collections and those of his colleagues. Across town, “Art in the Streets,” at the MOCA Geffen Contemporary through Aug. 8, is a mega-exhibition devoted to the history of graffiti and street art. It features works by noted street artists including Banksy, Shepard Fairey and Space Invader. Navigating these exhibitions can be intimidating, so here's a user-friendly checklist before heading out. Timed entry required? "Tim Burton": Yes, $20 (with a $2 surcharge if purchased at lacma.org) "Art in the Streets": No, $10 Freebies "Tim Burton": Children 17 and younger get free admission at all times Wait time for admittance
Damien Hirst DAMIEN HIRST Isonicotinoyl Chloride, 2005 Household gloss on canvas 84 x 84 inches (213.4 x 213.4 cm) Damien Hirst Listed Exhibitions (81 Kb)Damien Hirst Bibliography (122 Kb) Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London and first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated "Freeze," an exhibition of his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths. In the near quarter century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most prominent artists of his generation. Many of his works are widely recognized, from the shark suspended in formaldehyde, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991) and his spot, spin and butterfly paintings, through to later works such as the diamond skull For the Love of God (2007). Throughout his work, Hirst takes a direct and challenging approach to ideas about existence. Damien Hirst lives and works in Devon and London, U.K.

Books that will induce a mindfuck Here is the list of books that will officially induce mindfucks, sorted alphabetically by author. Those authors in bold have been recommended by one or more people as being generally mindfucking - any books listed under their names are particularly odd. You're welcome to /msg me to make an addition to this list. And finally, although he's way down at the bottom, my personal recommendation is definitely Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, as it turns the ultimate mindfuck: inverting the world-view of our entire culture, and it is non-fiction.
