This February ‘DRIVE’ will open with The Parking Space, featuring a Chevrolet Caprice and Impala, a Ferrari 328 GTS and a Ligier microcar, parked in the gallery alongside a video in which Rhoades fervidly discourses on his concept of the Car Projects. While driving around Los Angeles in 1998, Rhoades explains the relationship of cars to his art (parking is equated with sitting in a sculpture) and to daily practice (driving between the house, the studio and stores is time and space for the mind to race and wander). He expounds on cars as icons of art history (Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia speeded modern art forward with their mechanized abstractions), identifiers of class (you are what you drive) and environments of control. The radio is tuned to Power 106 FM and as the world streams by to the propulsive hip-hop beat, the romance of cars seems irresistible.
In April, the installation will be reconfigured to accommodate a lounge and become The Pit. An influx of archival materials will be key to unpacking the various episodes of Rhoades’ Car Projects, starting with the Caprice and the 1996 exhibition ‘Traffic.’ Not only did the artist cut a deal with CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France the organizers of the show, to go in on buying him the car as a transactional work of art, he later leveraged its symbolic value by trading the Caprice for a Ferrari.
This summer the exhibition’s focus will swerve onto The Racetrack. A set of half-scale NASCAR-style cars, custom jackets and colorfully painted tire barriers are among what remains of ‘The Snowball.’ Staged in California as a daylong racing event at Willow Springs speedway, ‘The Snowball’ was ultimately destined for the 2000 Venice Biennale and Rhoades’ collaborative work for the Danish Pavilion. In September, The Garage will cover the final stretch of ‘DRIVE’ with a selection of framed works on paper and a major sculptural installation.
Throughout the year, the line-up for ‘DRIVE’ will feature a range of public programs. A film series centered on cars and the city of Los Angeles will be curated by film historian and critic Elvis Mitchell. A theatrical staging of the playwright Charles Mee’s ‘Under Construction,’ which was inspired by Rhoades’ art in its collage depiction of America today, will be presented as part of Hauser & Wirth’s Performance Project.
Organized as an investigation in real time, ‘DRIVE’ invites people to approach the exhibition like a garage of art and ideas, in which cars are coming and going and tinkering is a productive state of mind. As an artist, Rhoades was keenly attuned to sources of cultural power and weakness. When he put the internal combustion engine on art’s pedestal, was he presciently placing the car where it belongs for a greener tomorrow? The car as a subject in Rhoades’ art continues to drive and trouble the imagination today.

Amusement parks

The park opened at 8am on Saturday and we entered at 10am. There are 10 parks in total, one of which was closed (Transformers). We played in 6 parks. The waiting time for each project was not long, at most half an hour. We didn&#39;t go to 3 parks because we were not interested. When you get off at the subway station, there is a free car to pick you up, which is very convenient.

Disneyland Park California

学校🏫

Disneyland: The carefully calculated fairy tale illusion This 1955 theme park is essentially a happy factory. When you walk through the arches of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, you step into a utopia built with dollars, neon lights and industrial fragrances. Star Wars: The Milky Way Edge is the most expensive fantasy. The Millennium Falcon cockpit buttons are so real that the alien uniformed staff will use Klingon-like greetings to make you instantly believe you are in a distant galaxy. By contrast, the mechanical puppet cruise of &quot;Little World&quot; is like sweet mental pollution - the replay of the nursery rhyme that is automatically replayed in your brain three hours later. Night cruises are the real magic moments. When electronic floats light up the streets of small American towns, When fireworks blow up Mickey&#39;s shape over Sleeping Beauty Castle, the most sophisticated adults become children with enlarged pupils. This is precisely Disney&#39;s smartest design: it sells rides, not rides, but a short-lived mental symptom called &quot;Believe in Magic.&quot; It is recommended to go on Tuesday and you will see the dolls in costumes sneaking against the wall while there are few people - the most authentic moment in the fairy tale kingdom.

From the exhilarating Incredicoaster and Radiator Springs Racers to the whimsical charm of Pixar Pier and Avengers Campus, every corner offers immersive storytelling and unforgettable rides. The park beautifully blends Disney magic with local flair, showcasing themed lands, live entertainment, and mouthwatering food options&mdash;like the famous churros and lobster nachos.

Griffith Observatory

Night Attractions

Griffith Observatory: The junction of the Starry Sky and the Earth This art deco building, completed in 1935, is suspended on the Hollywood Hills like a giant astronomical instrument targeting the Los Angeles Basin. Free and open setting makes it the city&#39;s most generous viewing platform. Fu Ke in the main hall is the most philosophical. The brass hammers slowly deflect the trajectory of the star map floor, silently proving the physical facts of the earth&#39;s rotation. When the Tesla coils on the basement floor were performed, artificial lightning burst in the dome, turning the scientific demonstration into a modern witchcraft show. But the true souls are on the night rooftops when city lights spread like magma beneath their feet, and the visible galaxy hangs overhead, forming a barren war between heaven and man. It is recommended to arrive an hour before sunset. First look at the sun on the west terrace as the Hollywood sign is gilded, then line up in the dusk to touch the astronomical telescope. The couples in line, the photographers on tripods and the children counting stars cast overlapping silhouettes on the metal shell of the telescopeperhaps more worth observing than the celestial body itself. Don&#39;t forget to look back at the Greek theater-style dome when you leave, and the bronze statue of Einstein is smiling in the shadow of the porch, as if you already know all about human obsession with the universe.

Santa Monica State Beach

Beaches and shores

生长在海边的果果

Santa Monica Beach is a free attraction, with a long coastline, soft sand, a long dock plank road, a playground, or the end of Route 66 that runs through the United States. Very beautiful. Many tourists from all over the world. Traveling all the way, I saw a lot of street artists performing, each with its own characteristics. Suitable for leisure and vacation
