It’s the 90s. Cindy Crawford is the supermodel, the lira is Italy’s official currency and Polaroids aren’t nostalgic. Time travel inside Skip Arnold’s briefcase, a capsule of ephemera, souvenirs and moments from the artist’s 1998 road trip to Italy via Switzerland in search of truffles. Visit ‘Skip Arnold: Truffle Hunt’ this weekend @theicala 11am-6pm in downtown #LosAngeles | #90s #skiparnold #trufflehunt #icala

This Sunday was all about #socialjustice in action - the @_project_q_ #hairstream was parked in the ICA LA courtyard to provide a safe space for #queer youth in #LosAngeles. Today’s currency in exchange for a free haircut was “how can #art be used as a form of social justice?” Swipe for a tour of the mobile #hair salon by founder and hairdresser Madin Lopez + meet the #ProjectQ team in conjunction with our #HaraldSzeemann exhibition, ‘Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us’ dedicated to Szeemann’s grandfather who was a hairdresser and inventor of the permanent-wave machine >>> view scenes from today’s program on our Story + Highlights now 👀🌈💛 #lgbtqia #poc #empowerment #museumlife #icala

“LosAngeles is the most integrated #queer positive space in the country - for every #LGBTQIA #POC youth in #LA there’s another member of our society elsewhere in the country” - Madin Lopez speaking with their mentee Anthony Daniel today @theicala before they prepare to embark on a new @_project_q_ tour to serve queer youth across the country. @madinraylopez is founder of Project Q - a mobile hair salon + mentorship program that provides free haircuts to queer youth of color | #safespace #projectq #icala

Inside ‘Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us’ @theicala thru April 22nd | #haraldszeemann #grandfatherapioneerlikeus #interiordesign #architecture #archive #dtla #icala

Renowned Swiss curator and art historian Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) redefined the role of an #art #curator, supporting emerging artists and contemporary movements in the 20th-century. After organizing the landmark exhibition ‘Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form’ (1969) @kunsthallebern, where he was director, and documenta 5 (1972) in Kassel, Germany, he challenged the institution as an art viewing arena and staged the installation, ‘Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us’ (1974) in his own apartment. The #installation was made up of a collection of various objects and inventions made or owned by his grandfather, Étienne Szeemann (pictured) - a Hungarian immigrant to Switzerland via London, who was a successful hairdresser. Szeemanzn’s apartment is now recreated at ICA LA in conjunction with @gettymuseum for visitors to explore the unique dynamic between a Father and a Son as well as their obsessive natures of collecting and archiving, respectively | #haraldszeemann #grandfatherapioneerlikeus #icala
