This February ‘DRIVE’ will open with The Parking Space, featuring a Chevrolet Caprice and Impala, a Ferrari 328 GTS and a Ligier microcar, parked in the gallery alongside a video in which Rhoades fervidly discourses on his concept of the Car Projects. While driving around Los Angeles in 1998, Rhoades explains the relationship of cars to his art (parking is equated with sitting in a sculpture) and to daily practice (driving between the house, the studio and stores is time and space for the mind to race and wander). He expounds on cars as icons of art history (Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia speeded modern art forward with their mechanized abstractions), identifiers of class (you are what you drive) and environments of control. The radio is tuned to Power 106 FM and as the world streams by to the propulsive hip-hop beat, the romance of cars seems irresistible.
In April, the installation will be reconfigured to accommodate a lounge and become The Pit. An influx of archival materials will be key to unpacking the various episodes of Rhoades’ Car Projects, starting with the Caprice and the 1996 exhibition ‘Traffic.’ Not only did the artist cut a deal with CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France the organizers of the show, to go in on buying him the car as a transactional work of art, he later leveraged its symbolic value by trading the Caprice for a Ferrari.
This summer the exhibition’s focus will swerve onto The Racetrack. A set of half-scale NASCAR-style cars, custom jackets and colorfully painted tire barriers are among what remains of ‘The Snowball.’ Staged in California as a daylong racing event at Willow Springs speedway, ‘The Snowball’ was ultimately destined for the 2000 Venice Biennale and Rhoades’ collaborative work for the Danish Pavilion. In September, The Garage will cover the final stretch of ‘DRIVE’ with a selection of framed works on paper and a major sculptural installation.
Throughout the year, the line-up for ‘DRIVE’ will feature a range of public programs. A film series centered on cars and the city of Los Angeles will be curated by film historian and critic Elvis Mitchell. A theatrical staging of the playwright Charles Mee’s ‘Under Construction,’ which was inspired by Rhoades’ art in its collage depiction of America today, will be presented as part of Hauser & Wirth’s Performance Project.
Organized as an investigation in real time, ‘DRIVE’ invites people to approach the exhibition like a garage of art and ideas, in which cars are coming and going and tinkering is a productive state of mind. As an artist, Rhoades was keenly attuned to sources of cultural power and weakness. When he put the internal combustion engine on art’s pedestal, was he presciently placing the car where it belongs for a greener tomorrow? The car as a subject in Rhoades’ art continues to drive and trouble the imagination today.

人生就是需要不断的折腾

Family outing, brushing the QR code to enter the park, very convenient. The inspection package is not very strict, you can bring food in, go early, parking is a little farther, cheaper, and it is very convenient to cross the commercial street. Recommended. Played all day! It&rsquo;s okay to eat inside, and the price is acceptable in the Harry Potter restaurant.

Disney California Adventure is a visually stunning park, with attractions for all ages. Its combination of Disney magic, Pixar, Marvel, and California culture offers a well-rounded experience. It might feel more modern compared to Disneyland Park, but it still provides the immersive experiences Disney is known for.

My mom, youngest brother Luke &amp; I went here for the first time Summer of 2012 to celebrate my 8th grade graduation. I discovered this park because I grew up going to Six Flags St. Louis with my parents, friends, &amp; Luke as my home park frequently since I was about 8 years old &amp; became more of a thrill seeker first with SFSTL, then Six Flags Great America, and I  used to go on the Six Flags website because I was curious about seeing parks in other states &amp; seeing what kind of rides the other parks had to offer &amp; discovered Six Flags Magic Moutain as I was browsing &amp; thought this park looked like so much fun, which it really was! My mom took my youngest brother Luke to meet the Looney Tunes characters &amp; Hurricane Harbor waterpark since he wasn&#39;t tall enough yet to go on the major thrill rides while I went on lots of amazing rollerocasters with Val, someone who used to babysit for us whenever she was able to. We stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the park, took a picture of X2 which could be seen from our hotel, palm trees in the parking lot, &amp; our elevator had Looney Tunes characters on it which made the Hilton Garden Inn Unique! My dad was also excited for us because Six Flags Magic Mountain is the park featured in his favorite movie, National Lampoon&#39;s Vacation &amp; is only about an hour and 40 minutes from Santa Monica beach! Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California.

Santa Monica State Beach

Beaches and shores

Mary_Yao88

Santa Monica Beach, a gem embedded in the California sunshine, caresses the heartstrings of every traveler with its endless charm. It is like a delicate watercolor painting, slowly spreading on the shore of the vast Pacific Ocean. The 3.5-mile golden beach shines warmly and softly in the afterglow of the sunset.
Here, every grain of sand seems to carry a story, and every wave is a whisper of nature. Walking along this romantic coastline, you can feel that time seems to slow down, making people forget the hustle and bustle and indulge in this tranquility and beauty.
Santa Monica Beach is not only a breathtaking landscape painting, but also a paradise full of vitality and fun. From the first ray of sunshine in the morning to the stars in the night, whether it is the passionate challenge of surfers or the dream castles built by children on the beach, they all constitute the unique scenery here.
And the historic Santa Monica Pier, like a kind old man, quietly guards this sea area. When night falls, the bright lights on the Ferris wheel and the starry sky complement each other, as if leading people into a dreamy fairy tale world. Surrounding, the wisdom and tranquility of Chess Park and the grandeur and leisure of Palisades Park add endless cultural heritage and natural charm to this beach.
Santa Monica Beach is a place that makes people yearn for it. It uses beauty and romance to weave the most gentle memories in the hearts of every visitor.
