Mark Bradford's video Dancing in the Street, 2019, shows a performance of the song by Martha and the Vandellas of the same name being projected onto buildings and fences across Los Angeles at night. The song debuted in 1964 and was adopted as a civil rights anthem and call to action during the Watts riots the following year. This work is in the Museum's permanent collection and is in the Modern's current exhibition Mark Bradford: End Papers.

May 30, video will be screened continuously from 7 until 10 pm

Mario García Torres's The Schlieren Plot, n.d., is a cinematic narrative based on two little-known episodes in the career of the American artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973). Between the late 1960s and 1970s, Smithson worked on two projects in Texas. Mixing fact and fiction, the film's story centers on a gardener at the Menil Collection in Houston who goes on a journey to review Smithson's path across the state. García Torres composed a soundtrack to accompany the film; it includes country and gospel-style songs whose lyrics meditate on the Texas landscape and on Smithson's artistic concerns.
