solo show in 2020 at his eponymous studio gallery in Chinatown. Mentor Henry Taylor gave Titus his first L.A. The Brooklyn-born Titus came up in the New York punk scene - he was the frontman for the band Cerebral Ballzy, whose 2011 debut album featured cover artwork by Raymond Pettibon - but he now lives in Los Angeles and has established himself as a painter. Ceruti isn’t widely known today, so this exhibition, organized by the Getty Museum with the Brescia Museums Foundation and opening July 18, might hold surprises. Ceruti was tagged “Pitocchetto” - the little beggar - given his fondness for pictures of maidservants, peasant families and vagrants in tattered rags. Everyday experience in all strata of society became common subject matter. In Italy, the three Carracci brothers and Caravaggio, who never saw a dirty foot or head of tousled hair he couldn’t lovingly consecrate through dramatizing strokes of paint, nourished a tradition of so-called low-life painting that lasted into the 18th century. Details can be found on the Music Center’s website. “Frida” runs from July 14 to 16, and tickets range from $34 to $138. “Frida,” which presents the life story of the iconic artist, uses “expressive surrealism” to document her loneliness, her relationship with husband Diego Rivera, sexuality and image. In mid-July, Colombian Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s ode to Frida Kahlo arrives at the Music Center by way of the Dutch National Ballet.

MirandaĪre you up for another sylvan frolic, courtesy of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine? Lear deBessonet’s 2022 Broadway revival of this classic musical deconstruction of fairy tales arrives at the Ahmanson Theatre on June 27 with spry theatrical imagination, daring wit and all the mixed emotions that make Sondheim Sondheim. It will include a wild range of objects: pottery, painting, photography, sculpture, film and even lowriders by about 70 artists and collectives, including Laura Aguilar, Nao Bustamante, Jay Lynn Gomez and rafa esparza. This touring exhibition, which travels to four other venues after debuting at the Cheech on June 17, will look at the ways in which a multigenerational group of Chicanx artists has placed the brown body at the center of its work - not only as a symbol of resistance but also as a way of asserting presence. To put your body on the line is to assume risk for an action.
It begins with “Bach, Monks and Shakespeare Meet in Water,” all of which make it perfect for a staging at this everything-goes festival that will also feature the Attacca Quartet and Wu Man. “In Hunan, where I grew up, people believed they would be rewarded after death for their sufferings,” writes Tan Dun of his “Ghost Opera.” The score was written in 1994 for the Kronos Quartet and the eloquent pipa virtuoso Wu Man, with the players also employing water, stones, paper and metal in music that includes classical, folk and avant-garde traditions, as well as spiritual ones. The New York-based Keith Haring Foundation contributed personal ephemera and documentation, such as buttons, children’s toys and posters that the artist made to support activist causes close to his heart. Paintings, drawings, videos, sculptures and graphic works will be on view. “Art Is for Everybody,” organized by curator and exhibitions manager Sarah Loyer, will feature more than 120 works spanning the late 1970s - when Haring was a student - through 1988, shortly before he died of AIDS-related complications. The Broad museum will present Haring’s first-ever museum survey in Los Angeles on May 27. The Broad museum is presenting an exploration of the late Keith Haring’s life, art and activism in his first solo museum show in Los Angeles.
