Celebrating 'Under the Big Black Sun' Exhibit with MOCA

“Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980” officially launched over the weekend, and FishbowlLA kicked off the six month exhibition series with an opening party at MOCA for “Under the Big Black Sun: California Art 1974-1981.” The series takes its name from the album by the L.A.-based punk band X.

Guests had a chance to preview the exhibition, which centers around a particularly turbulent, experimental period in the city’s art scene. Appropriately, the turbulent, experimental Henry Rollins DJ’d the party.

We ran into journalist Michael Kurcfeld, who was shooting video for the New York Times website.
