It’s the 23rd season of Jazz at LACMA. Every Friday, the BP Grand Entrance plays host to musicians from throughout Southern California as they fill the space with their seasoned sounds.

Jazz at LACMA features the art of jazz as practiced by leading Southern California artists. Celebrating over twenty years at LACMA, the program continues to be one of the museum’s most recognizable offerings. Jazz at LACMA is a celebration of L.A.’s finest jazz musicians and has featured such legends as Wayne Shorter, John Clayton, Kenny Burrell, Les McCann, Billy Childs, Arturo Sandoval, Cannonball-Coltrane Project, and Ernie Watts. Over 42,000 visitors attend the program annually from April through November.

Jazz at LACMA is made possible in part by the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs. Broadcasts are made possible through the support of the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl with additional support from the Johnny Mercer Foundation. Promotional support is provided by media sponsor KJAZZ 88.1.

In Highland Park…

Adjunct Positions presents “Jane Chang Mi: The Taste of Purity,” a series of video and photographic works developed during Mi’s visits to the archipelagos of French Polynesia and to the wilderness of Antarctica.

See image: Jane Chang Mi, Le Goût de la Pureté (The Taste of Purity), 2014, archival inkjet print, 32″ x 48″

Through this work, Mi transports the viewer to a place which is represented literally as itself, and poetically, as something accessible trans-context. The work suggests simultaneously the sociopolitical undercurrents of these places and their visitors, the immediacy of new experiences, and the universality of natural phenomena as they are observed during travel.

On view: August 14 – September 12, 2015

What: Opening reception
Where: Adjunct Positions, 5041 Coringa Drive LA, 90042
