MEETING AT LACMA:
We will meet at LACMA at the Wilshire Blvd. entrance next to the ticket office and Chris Burden's Urban Light sculpture (shown below) at 12:00PM on Saturday, July 16. LACMA will be providing us with free admission to the museum.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: LACMA’s first priority is the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers. Masks continue to be required indoors for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, until further notice. Maintaining some health and safety protocols remains critical to provide a safe environment for staff, volunteers, and visitors of all ages, including those with compromised health and families with children who cannot be vaccinated. These protocols are in place to help protect against the spread of COVID-19. Please read all guidelines HERE before your visit. https://www.lacma.org/plan-your-visit

Parking costs $18.00 per vehicle, and it is not part of our free admission.
We will be spending a lot of time at the Barbara Kruger Exhibition at LACMA (BCAM, Level 2):
According to LACMA,
Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You. is a major exhibition devoted to the work of Barbara Kruger, one of the most significant and visible artists of our time. Spanning four decades, this exhibition is the largest and most comprehensive presentation of Kruger’s work in 20 years; it spans her single-channel videos from the 1980s to digital productions of the last two decades, and includes large-scale vinyl room wraps, multichannel video installations, and audio soundscapes throughout LACMA’s campus. As an active consumer and vigilant viewer of popular culture, Kruger grapples with the accelerated ways pictures and words instantaneously flow through media. How they are simultaneously played and re-played informs her most recent video works, which are an exhibition highlight. Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You. is a visually compelling gathering of groundbreaking artwork that is resonant, courageous, and crucial. Video featuring with Barbara Kruger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ3WIZeBRZg
Here are a few things to consider about our LACMA field trip:
1) First, remember that this field trip is an all day event, and it replaces the Monday and Wednesday Lectures (Monday, July 10 and Wednesday, July 13)
2) You must fill out the University of California, Santa Barbara Waiver of Liability, Assumption of the Risk & Indemnity Agreement if you are going on the LACMA field trip, even if you are staying in Los Angeles that weekend. If you haven't, then submit it to me ASAP. This is mandatory UCSB policy.
LIABILITY WAIVER FOR FIELD TRIPS
If you are doing any activities off campus, students must fill out a liability waiver.
There are two kinds of waivers, one for required activities:
One for elective activities:
Students must download the waiver form, fill it in and sign it and then email to your professor or TA and to:
Or print it out, have them sign it and put them all in the undergraduate art mail box before the event.
3) Be sure that you have my email with you! If you arrive late, you want to be able to find us at the museum.
4) I would suggest eating a big breakfast since we won't be taking a break for lunch until later in the day. Furthermore, pack snacks for the road, and for lunch, unless you want to treat yourself to food at the museum. There are also food trucks that park across from the museum on Wilshire Blvd.
5) If you are driving from Santa Barbara, be sure to give yourself at least two hours to drive to LACMA.You never know what kind of traffic that you will encounter.
6) Wear comfortable shoes and clothing! We will be doing a lot of walking and hiking up stairs, so you want to be very comfortable.
7) Charge your phone since you will want to take a lot of pictures at the museum.
