The current solo project filling the Theater Gallery is Ai Weiwei’s new and previously unseen installation Life Cycle (2018).

Throughout his career, American artist Glenn Ligon (b. 1960) has pursued an incisive exploration of American history, literature, and society across a body of work that builds critically on the legacies of modern painting and conceptual art. Curated by the artist, this exhibition will include a selection of works from the permanent collection.

Shown here for the first time in Los Angeles, the oversized flower-potted tulips made from fiberglass- reinforced plastic are painted with the same red polka dots as the floor, ceiling, and walls, creating an immersive viewing experience while at the same time diminishing the appearance of depth.

The Marciano Art Foundation was founded by Maurice and Paul Marciano, who have been collecting contemporary art since the 1990s. A rotating selection of the permanent collection remains on view on MAF’s third floor.

Handsome sets of documents, photographs, and Masonic paraphernalia left at the Temple are presented in the renovated Masonic library.
