10 Art Shows to See in Los Angeles This November

This article highlights ten art shows to see in Los Angeles this November, featuring a diverse range of exhibitions. Key shows include Kathleen Ryan's bejeweled rotten fruit, Puppies Puppies's homage to freedom flags, and TJ Shin's bird songs. Historical perspectives are offered through a survey of prints by Robert Rauschenberg at Gemini G.E.L., rarely seen works by Mexican muralist Alfredo Ramos Martínez at Scripps College, and a tribute to the Brockman Gallery at the Vincent Price Art Museum.

Mexican Cultural Workers Denounce Pedro Reyes Sculpture at LACMA

A group of nearly 80 Mexican cultural workers, including artists, critics, and academics, has signed an open letter denouncing the display of Pedro Reyes's sculpture "Tlali" at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The colossal lava stone head, unveiled earlier this month at LACMA's new building, echoes a controversial 2021 public commission by Reyes that was scrapped by Mexico City's government after protests from feminist and Indigenous advocates. The signatories accuse LACMA of ignoring the previous activism against the artist's work in Mexico, calling the museum's decision to legitimize a new version of the polemic sculpture "deceiving." Reyes has not responded to requests for comment.

700 Years of Tenochtitlan (again): Mexico honours its pre-Hispanic capital

Mexico is commemorating the 700th anniversary of the founding of México-Tenochtitlan with a series of public events including art installations, urban routes, performances, and dances organized by federal and local authorities. The festivities, centered on the Zócalo near the Templo Mayor site, feature large-scale reproductions of Mexica artifacts such as the Aztec Calendar Stone and the Coatlicue statue, along with a video-mapping projection titled "Memoria Luminosa" that narrates the city's history. The celebration follows a similar event in 2021 led by then-president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which drew criticism for historical inaccuracies and political manipulation.
