Every single one of Lucy’s 31,000 unique felt artworks is available to buy in store, so Angeleno’s can browse the California rolls at the fully stocked sushi bar and bag up some fresh felt fish, fruit and vegetables, before heading to the 1980’s inspired sound and vision department housing a movie section filled with that decade’s biggest box office hits on VHS and Betamax.
3D: Double VisionAug 2-12
Egyptian Theater and Aero Theater$13 Cinematheque and LACMA members, $15 general public
Presented in conjunction with the LACMA exhibition 3D: Double Vision, this off-site film series highlights both classic 3D films of the 1950s and 3D horror and science fiction films of the 1980s.
3D: Double Vision is the first North American survey of 3D objects and practices. Featuring artifacts of mass culture alongside historical and contemporary art, the exhibition addresses the nature of perception, the allure of illusionism and our relationship to accompanying technologies and apparatuses as it traces the generational cycles of 3D across 175 years.

Synopsis:
Madeline (newcomer Helena Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop's ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting battle between imagination and appropriation rips out of the rehearsal space and through all three women’s lives.

GR2 is now 15 years old. The project started as a huge question mark. Could we survive by selling art? We weren't sure, but we did see talent all around us. Looking back from our humble start in 2003, it's easy to say that's this has been a great ride, but being able to serve artists and art fans is even greater. We hope to continue our ride and help build new art fans and artists around the world.
