The New Year in Los Angeles signals the beginning of Awards Season, and with that, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is featuring two special exhibits exploring how science has impacted technology, aesthetics, and storytelling in cinema: Cyberpunk which envisions possible futures through cinema, and Color in Motion, the chromatic explorations of cinema. Elsewhere around the city, BLUM is celebrating thirty years since Yoshitomo Nara's first exhibition in the United States with a new solo presentation, and Mariana: Velázquez’s Portrait of a Queen from the Museo Nacional del Prado presents a rare chance to view this work at the Norton Simon in Pasadena.
Here are the best openings and continuing shows to see in Los Angeles this January taking place at some of our favourite Los Angeles galleries.
