LOS ANGELES, CA
.-Kayne Griffin is presenting a solo exhibition with the artist, Huguette Caland, in the South Gallery exhibition space. Huguette Calands work spans different eras and locales yet finds itself intertwined with the Los Angeles art scene. Caland was experimental in her life and her art.

Beyond Appearances
Over the summers of 2001 and 2002, Mary Ellen Mark (1940-2015) brought a team of assistants and a large-format Polaroid camera to Twinsburg, Ohio, for the annual Twins Days Festival. The resulting series captures the physical similarity, and subtle differences, of identical twins.

His son Edwin Binney Sr. and a cousin, C. Harold Smith, co-founded Binney & Smith, creating the first dustless white blackboard chalk in 1902 and producing the first box of Crayola crayons in 1903.

Music for our times
In his review of the German TV film, Times contributor Robert Abele found it “elegantly tailored” but “never exactly stirring,” which sounds more Louis-like than the Ludwig we all know. I haven’t seen it because I’ve been too busy trying to catch up with all the other things Beethoven. It’s been a full plate. But then, the Beethoven plate is always full. No matter where you are, no matter what you listen to, Beethoven molecules might be in the e
