Rita House unveils The Balance of Elements by Liana Grigoryan. The deeply personal series is focused on the Five Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Inspired by a desire to reconnect with nature’s wisdom, Liana Grigoryan’s work is a visual meditation on what it means to find balance within ourselves and with the world around us. This series explores how the elements reflect the cycles we all experience: creation, destruction, movement, stillness, and transcendence.

Also Downtown…it’s the final weekend to see & Juliet at the Ahmanson Theatre. This witty, high-energy musical turns the world’s most famous romance upside down. & Juliet dares to ask: what if Juliet’s story didn’t end with Romeo? Instead, she seizes control, rewriting her fate for a second shot at life and love—on her own terms.

Murmurs brings us two new exhibitions. Pallbearer is a solo exhibition by Y. Malik Jalal to be featured in the main gallery. This new body of work continues Jalal’s exploration of interiors and the tensions between domestic and vehicular space. For this exhibition, he turns toward fantasy, the poetics of ruin, and the economy of loss, drawing from the material languages of junkyards and found photography. This marks the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Then the second exhibition is a solo show titled The Spigot Makes the Mouth Real by Laura Stinger in the front gallery. This marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Art Party: 5–8pm; Murmurs, 1411 Newton St. Los Angeles, CA 90021; https://www.murmurs.la
