Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles presents a one-night-only screening of LA-based artist Paul McCarthy’s ‘cisuM fo dnuoS ehT/The Sound of Music’ — the well-known and iconic American movie from 1965 is projected upside down and in reverse, although run at normal speed.  McCarthy overturns the film itself, as well as its uplifting narrative and songs, to transform something familiar and comfortable into a strange and unnerving parallel. For this one-night-only screening, Manuela will provide a cash bar with food and drinks, including McCarthy’s very own Craftsman Brewing collaborative beer – Gout Stout. Reservations are recommended for this FREE event, as there is limited capacity.  Event time: 7:00pm; Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles is located at 901 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles CA 90013; 213 943 1620; http://www.hauserwirth.com
