road trip 2 +

LA to the Barnsdall Art Park, site of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery.
We met up with more family and toured the house.
Luckily we split into to tours and we got a wonderful tour guide who I am sure knew I was sneaking picture taking.

Then there was a reception at the gallery for the exhibit ‘Framing Abstraction: Mark, Symbol, Signifier.

Great space for Los Angeles art and artists.


The dinner at Restaurante Guelaguetza where we had fantastic food, and their famous mole, and Chocolate de Agua o Leche con Pan de Yema.
My parents always enjoy seeing as much art as possible so we went to MCASD downtown. For some reason I was expecting the Jennifer Steimkamp: Madame Curie installation to have live plants but instead was enthralled by the projection I walked into.

And we went to the San Diego History Center in Balboa Park and played around at the “Dressing the Part” show. An exhibit in collaboration with the Old Globe theater showcasing their collection of costumes.
Forésta had installed the background murals for the exhibit so we got to check out his exception work too!
Once again it was a fantastic visit with my parents, and we are all working to have them come down to spend longer periods of time.
