Weekly What To Do: Out of the vOiD & Into The Groove


Animé Los Angeles 20 is taking place January 9-12 at the Long Beach Convention Center. You have plenty of time to still register, we just want to remind you so you can prepare for it.

We mark it as possibly the best fan type convention, this is to get with your fellow Otaku and go over your favorite animes and maybe show some killer cosplay.

It's gotten so much bigger over the years, but it's a full on convention that's still easier to navigate than AX. Go over the website on what you might want to check out as it'll be a while before the other anime conventions start up in 2025.

Regen Projects is pleased to present Psychic Debris Field, an exhibition of new work by Los Angeles-based artist Doug Aitken.

In Psychic Debris Field, Aitken sets forth a poly-media composition of artworks that create a narrative which explores the juxtaposition of deep ecological history within our landscape and contemporary habitation. The artworks create a fever-dream interpretation of our landscape ranging from large-scale sculptures created from urban debris, light and sound installations, botanic artworks, and fabric works that seamlessly combine these mediums.

The second PST ART exhibition at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, opens January 12. The exhibition reintroduces fire as a generative force, one that connects us to our past and offers a collective path toward a sustainable future, challenging us to rethink attitudes of fear and illegality around fire—a reconsideration with potentially profound implications for California, a state frequently braced for uncontrolled wildfires.
