Levitated Mass Now on view | Resnick Pavilion North Lawn

Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer is composed of a 456-foot-long slot constructed on lacma’s campus, over which is placed a 340-ton granite megalith. Heizer conceived of the artwork in 1969 but discovered an appropriate boulder only decades later in Riverside County, California. Earlier this year, all of Los Angeles watched as the boulder was transported 105 miles from its quarry to lacma. Since the boulder’s arrival, Heizer has overseen the creation of this incredible artwork, now open to the public. Taken whole, Levitated Mass speaks to the expanse of art history—from ancient traditions of creating artworks from megalithic stone to modern forms of abstract geometries and cutting-edge feats of engineering. Also on view is Michael Heizer: Actual Size—large-scale photographic works by the artist. In the Resnick Pavilion, and shown for the ﬁrst time in more than three decades, Actual Size: Munich Rotary (1971) uses six custom ﬁlm projectors to exhibit six spliced images at the Michael Heizer original actual size of the artist’s 1969 negative sculpture, Munich Depression, built in the outskirts of Munich, Germany—a depression 2012, © measuring one hundred feet in diameter and sixteen feet deep that displaced 1,000 tons of rock and earth. Installed in bcam is a series

realized of ﬁfteen individual photographic prints from 1970 of actual size monolithic rocks. Michael Heizer: Actual Size is on view through 1969, September 9.

. . . Is James Bond Through September 9 | Art of the Americas Building From Soviet agents to Caribbean drug lords, Kissy Suzuki to Octopussy, Sean Connery to Daniel Craig— in the fifty years since the first James Bond film, villains, Bond girls, and the actors who have played 007 have changed to reflect a society in flux. Over the course of twenty-two films, one element has remained constant: Maurice Binder’s unmistakable opening credit sequences. Organized with Loyola Marymount Univer- sity’s School of Film and Television, . . . Is James Bond is an installation of all twenty-two opening sequences, which explores them as unique and groundbreaking cinema—filmmaking that is as daring as 007 himself. This exhibition was co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television. The organizers are grateful for the special collaboration of Danjaq LLC and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.
