3.0 General Description of Environmental Setting 3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Section 15125 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR include a description of the existing environment. This chapter provides a general overview of the environmental setting for the Project, however, detailed information on existing conditions is provided for each environmental topic studied in Chapter 4.0, Environmental Impact Analysis. This chapter also provides an overview of related projects that are considered as part of the future conditions in evaluating cumulative impacts. A. OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 1. On‐Site Conditions The Project Site is located within the mid‐City area, on the Miracle Mile corridor along Wilshire Boulevard. Specifically, the Project Site is within the LACMA Campus on an approximately 2.2‐acre site at 6067 Wilshire Boulevard at the northeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. The majority of the Project Site is currently developed with the approximately 265,900‐square‐foot, five‐level May Company Building. The remainder of the Project Site includes a loading dock, service driveways, and a gravel area north of the May Company Building, and pedestrian walkways that provide access from the Pritzker Garage and LACMA. Vehicular access to the LACMA Campus and Project Site is provided via Wilshire Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue, and Sixth Street. Sixth Street provides access to the underground Pritzker Garage that serves LACMA. Access to LACMA’s Spaulding Lot is provided on Spaulding Avenue south of the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Spaulding Avenue. Regional access is provided by the Santa Monica freeway (I‐10) and Hollywood freeway (US 101). Public transit service is provided along Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. Pedestrian and bicycle access to the Project Site is provided from Wilshire Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue, and Sixth Street. The building is currently used by LACMA for art storage and is also temporarily housing some Academy staff during renovation of the Academy’s existing Beverly Hills headquarters. 2. Surrounding Uses The Project Site is located at the western edge of the LACMA Campus. LACMA serves as the anchor and western edge of Museum Row, a stretch of Wilshire Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue and La Brea Avenue. Museum Row includes five museums: LACMA, Page Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum, the A+D Architecture and Design Museum, and the Craft and Folk Art Museum. The LACMA Campus is comprised of LACMA West and LACMA East, generally west and east of the vacated Ogden Drive. LACMA West encompasses approximately 8 acres and includes the May Company Building, Broad Contemporary Art Museum, and the Resnick Exhibition Pavilion. LACMA East is located within the approximately 23‐acre Hancock Park, along with the Page Museum/La Brea Tar Pits, on land owned by the County. LACMA East includes five buildings: the Ahmanson, Hammer, Art of the Americas, Bing Center, and the Pavilion for Japanese Art. Surrounding off‐site land uses include the 160‐acre Park La Brea residential neighborhood to the north across Sixth Street; a mix of museums, galleries, cultural institutions, and commercial business along Wilshire Boulevard to the south including the Petersen Automotive Museum and A+D Architecture and Design Museum; commercial uses to the west across Fairfax Avenue; and commercial uses to the east across Curson Avenue. The future Metro Westside Subway Extension (anticipated to be operational in 2023) will be located beneath the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue and the Wilshire/Fairfax Station entrance will be located on the southeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Orange Grove Avenue. City of Los Angeles Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Project SCH #2013051086 3‐1 3.0 General Description of Environmental Setting August 2014 Specifically, the Project Site is bordered on the north by the Resnick North Lawn, which contains the “Levitated Mass” outdoor installation; on the northeast by the Resnick Exhibition Pavilion; and on the east by the Broad Contemporary Art Museum and stairs to the Pritzker Garage. 3. Existing Conditions For more detailed descriptions of existing conditions that are specific to each of the environmental issues analyzed in this Draft EIR, see Chapter 4, Sections 4.A through 4.J. B. RELATED PROJECTS CEQA requires that EIRs analyze cumulative impacts. As defined in the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15355, a cumulative impact consists of an impact which is created as a result of the combination of the project evaluated in the EIR together with other projects causing related impacts. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(a) states that an EIR must discuss cumulative impacts of a project when the project's incremental effect is cumulatively considerable, as defined in Section 15065(a)(3). Where a lead agency is examining a project with an incremental effect that is not “cumulatively considerable,” a lead agency need not consider that effect significant, but must briefly describe its basis for concluding that the incremental effect is not cumulatively considerable (Section 15130(a)). However, an EIR should not discuss impacts which do not result in part from the project evaluated in the EIR. Furthermore, when the combined cumulative impact associated with the project's incremental effect and the effects of other projects is not significant, the EIR must briefly indicate why the cumulative impact is not significant and is not discussed in further detail in the EIR. A lead agency must identify facts and analysis supporting the lead agency’s conclusion that the cumulative impact is less than significant. In addition, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(b) indicates that the analysis of cumulative impacts shall reflect the severity of the impacts and the likelihood of occurrence, but the discussion need not provide as great of detail as provided for the effects attributable to the project alone. Instead, the discussion should be guided by the standards of practicality and reasonableness, and should focus on the cumulative impact to which the identified other projects contribute rather than the attributes of the other projects which do not contribute to the cumulative impact. A project has “cumulatively considerable” or significant cumulative impacts, when its incremental effects “are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.” For an adequate discussion of significant cumulative impacts, the State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15130(b)(1)(A) and (B)) allow an EIR to determine cumulative impacts and reasonably foreseeable growth based on either of the following methods: . A list of past, present, and probable future projects producing related or cumulative impacts; or . A summary of projections contained in an adopted general plan or related planning document, or in a prior environmental planning document which has been adopted or certified, which described or evaluated regional or area‐wide conditions contributing to the cumulative impact. City of Los Angeles Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Project SCH #2013051086 3‐2 August 2014 3.0 General Description of Environmental Setting For the purposes of the cumulative impacts analysis for the Project, the City has opted to use the list approach for evaluating cumulative effects. Based on information provided by the cities of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood, the City developed a list of past, present and probable future projects. The list of identified related projects is provided in Table 3‐1, Related Projects List, with the locations of each of the related projects listed in Figure 3‐1, Related Projects Map. Although the projects listed in Table 3‐1 serve as the primary bases for evaluation of cumulative impacts, the approach to these analyses vary for certain environmental issues. The cumulative analyses for each environmental issue are provided in their applicable sections in Chapter 4.0, Environmental Impact Analysis, of this Draft EIR. In addition to the above list of related projects, the Metro Westside Subway Extension is planned beneath Wilshire Boulevard south of the Project Site, and the station entrance will be located on the south side of Wilshire Boulevard between Orange Grove Avenue and Ogden Drive (see Figure 2‐2, Aerial Photograph of Project Site and Vicinity, of this Draft EIR). Service to this future station is anticipated to begin in 2023. Accordingly, the Metro Westside Subway Extension project is also considered in the analysis for certain topics where there is potential for cumulative impacts in association with the Project.

Philippe Mora at his best." Piotr Czerkawski, Film Critic Wroclaw “..there is a genuine heart and soul to the film that is something of a passion project for Mora.” Laurence Boyce Screen Daily “The creation here (of Lord Steinway) is definitely a masterpiece.” Anna Tatarska FRED Radio, The Festival Insider “Mora’s films break all conventions, combine different styles and are nearly always saturated with rebellious, surrealistic humor.” Adam Kruk Film Critic, New Horizons “Mora tells perhaps one of his most personal stories to date as he examines art and modernism. Mora, who casual fans would most likely know from such films as Communion and cult classic The Return of Captain Invincible, unsurprisingly does not tell the tale with any regard for the norms of convention..” Screen International “Philippe Mora…French Australian director legend.” Der Spiegel May 2013 3 SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM This story of Modernism, muses and the role of sexuality in art are told by famed art critic Lord Steinway. When a soccer player, confronts Steinway as his son, the story takes a modernist twist itself. This comedy hit at the 2013 New Horizons International Film Festival takes the form of a hybrid of fact and fiction about Lord Steinway, the “Method” art critic, making his television show THE EPIC OF CIVILIZATION.

  • Centralizing the Mobile: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's
    Centralizing the Mobile: The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Outdoor Installations BY KATIE ANTONSSON The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has been struggling with its role in Los Angeles life since its creation in 1961. Originally part of the Los Angeles Museum of Science, History and Art (est. 1910), LACMA branched off and established itself as a separate art museum in 1961, opening its doors to the public in 1965. During the late 80s and early 90s, the museum devoted itself to opening up new buildings and galleries for new acquisitions, which both expanded and fragmented the museum. For its most recent crusade, LACMA strives to become the cultural center of Los Angeles under the tutelage of director Michael Govan. In a county of nine million citizens spread over 4700 square miles, centralization is a near impossible proposition, but Govan’s innovative thinking has helped propel LACMA to its highest status within Los Angeles life yet, commissioning massive outdoor installations to engage an audience and symbolize a city. From its inception, LACMA’s founders determined to make their museum the west coast answer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. John Walker, a board member during the museum’s early years, explained, “Of course, the Met has a 100-year advantage, but I believe Los Angeles to have the financial resources and the civic enthusiasm to build a great general collection [from] AD 1200 to our own time.”1 With the founding 1 Christopher Knight, "LACMA's Overhaul Is a Work in Progress."

These characteristics interact in a number of meaningful ways under the museum’s current leadership, allowing its local and global ambitions to complement one another.

RAMIRO GOMEZ Biography Ramiro Gomez was born in 1986 in San Bernardino, California to undocumented Mexican immigrant parents who have since become US citizens. He briefly attended the California Institute for the Arts before leaving to take work as a live-in nanny with a West Hollywood family, an experience that did much to inform his subsequent artistic practice. In 2013 Gomez had his first solo exhibition at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, and was also awarded with a residency to install a mural in West Hollywood Park, a project titled The Caretakers, which remains on view. In 2014 Gomez had his solo gallery debut at Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles, and went on to show widely across North America. In 2015 Gomez exhibited at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, the Chicago Humanities Festival, and again at Charlie James Gallery. Gomez’s work has been covered in the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, NPR, the Los Angeles Times, Hyperallergic, Huffington Post, and CNN. In the spring of 2016, Gomez had his third show at the Charlie James Gallery in conjunction with the publication of a monograph on his work by Lawrence Weschler (Abrams).

  • Boulder Arrival Advisory
    ^ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Advisory LACMA TO COMPLETE TRANSPORT OF BOULDER FOR MAJOR ARTWORK, LEVITATED MASS, BY ARTIST MICHAEL HEIZER 340-TON MEGALITH IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT LACMA ON SATURDAY morning, MARCH 10, COMPLETING 105-MILE JOURNEY FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY WHAT: The 340-ton megalith that is to be part of artist Michael Heizer’s monumental artwork, Levitated Mass , is scheduled to arrive at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) early in the morning of Saturday, March 10 . The boulder will begin the last leg of its journey from its final planned stop in downtown Los Angeles ( at Figueroa Street, between 63rd and 65th Streets ), passing such landmarks as the Coliseum, Exposition Park, Wiltern Theater, La Brea Tar Pits, and LACMA’s own Urban Light as it travels down Wilshire Boulevard to arrive at the museum. Due to its massive size, the boulder has required a complex and thoroughly reviewed transportation process from the quarry in Riverside County to the museum, with movement happening only at night. Once complete, its transportation (made possible by Hanjin Shipping) will have taken place over the course of eleven nights, traveling through four counties and twenty-two cities. For the current boulder location, route map, and most up-to-date information regarding the transport, visit lacma.org/levitatedmass The boulder is one component of the greater artwork, Levitated Mass , which features a 456-foot-long concrete slot constructed on LACMA’s campus, over which the boulder sits. As visitors walk along the slot, it gradually descends to fifteen feet deep, running underneath the megalith, before ascending back up .
