  3. The Review: Playa

    On the plate, a wide-eyed Malcolm McDowell stares up at me from beneath his bowler. It's a bit disconcerting to find the violent figure from &quot;A Clockwork Orange" sharing space with seared day-boat scallops at <a href="http://findlocal.latimes.com/listings/playa-los-angeles">Playa</a>. On another plate, squash blossom tempura is framed by another scene from the brilliant (and creepy) film.

  5. Laurel Nakadate flirts with danger in string bikini at the Standard Hotel

    Culture Monster
    It might be reassuring to know that Nakadate, a young-looking 35, is a video artist and photographer who has followed her exhibitionist impulses all the way to a major museum survey ("Only the Lonely," now at PS1 in New York.). But watching her rub up...

  7. MOCA's mural mess

    Culture Monster
    The Museum of Contemporary Art just got a very expensive lesson, both in money and prestige, on the difference between being an art museum and a commercial gallery. Simply put: At a museum, planning counts. Last week MOCA raised eyebrows,......

  8. Art that makes a public spectacle of itself

    A giant bulb atop the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood that goes on and off for no apparent reason. A letter denying a Mexican citizen a visa, plastered across the fa&#231;ade of the Geffen Contemporary. A billboard on Fairfax advertising a used 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood. Banners pinned to chain-link fences recounting fragments of dreams in both English and Spanish. The words &quot;leave the land alone" scrawled by plane across the sky.

  11. Barbara Kruger goes back to school

    LA JOLLA -- As your eyes plot the final few steps down the central staircase in UC San Diego's new student center, they land on a red terrazzo text panel that reads: &quot;Perfect order is the forerunner of perfect horror." Not exactly a soft landing but certainly an interesting one. Not far from that Carlos Fuentes quote is one in charcoal tones from Franz Kafka: "The meaning of life is that it stops."

  12. California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art

    In the 2008 California Biennial at the <a href=&quot;http://www.ocma.net/index.html?page=current%232008_California_Biennial">Orange County Museum of Art</a>, the tour de force is an animatronic sculpture by Daniel J. Martinez. It resonates in many ways. <b>&#182;</b> Beneath bright white fluorescent lights, Martinez has constructed a low white platform in a large white room reached by a gently sloping ramp. Near one corner, a lifelike latex sculpture of a man lies on its back on the floor. Dressed in white pants and white shirt, with close-cropped hair and facial stubble, the figure appears deranged. <b><b></b>&#182;</b> Its eyes are rolled back, its teeth bared. A chunky, hip-hop-style silver belt buckle spells out the name "Ishmael." At regular intervals, the reclining robot comes to mechanical life. <b><b></b>&#182;</b> An arm flops. A leg kicks. The head rolls forward and the torso twitches. <b><b></b>&#182;</b> When the flailing body parts hit the raised floor, it acts like a loud drum. The herky-jerky motion gets steadily more forceful, sometimes exposing the mechanical works beneath the floor that propel the man. The escalating racket is a cross between percussive music and a machine gun. It's exciting, but there's also a sense of relief when the figure finally pipes down and goes limp, returning to its static, soundless state. <b><b></b>&#182;</b> Ishmael, of course, is the narrator of Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick," in which he serves as a roving symbol for society's outcasts. It is one measure of Martinez's bracing audacity that he appropriates without hesitation an epic of American literary culture. The whiteness of the whale morphs into the abstract white cube of the modern art gallery -- as well as the dominance of European ancestry in contemporary culture. <b><b></b>&#182;</b> A bare white space is a popular emblem for a madhouse too. Martinez's flailing figure -- notably, a self-portrait of the artist -- is crazed and kept down within an institutional context, both social and artistic. He's also mechanically manipulated within it, unable to act independently.
