Showing The Cool School: How LA Learned to Love Modern Art
Join us at the Maude Kerns Art Center on Friday, August 21, at 7 pm for a showing of The Cool School: How LA Learned to Love Modern Art, the featured movie for August in the Art Center’s “Movies at Maude’s” series, which resumes this month. The Art Center is adhering to all State of Oregon and Oregon Health Authority guidelines. Movies are free to the community with a suggested donation. Please make reservations to attend at www.mkartcenter.org.
The Cool School is a 2008 documentary, directed by Morgan Neville and narrated by Jeff Bridges, about the beginnings of the contemporary art scene in Los Angeles. The film focuses on the Ferus Gallery and its founders, Ed Kienholz and Walter Hopps, and reveals how a few renegade artists built the competitive, present-day art scene. Among the artists profiled in The Cool School are Ed Ruscha, Craig Kauffman, Wallace Berman, Ed Moses, and Robert Irwin.
The Maude Kerns Art Center, located at 1910 E. 15th Avenue at the corner of 15th and Villard, is Eugene’s first non-profit community center for the visual arts. Gallery hours are from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday – Friday, and noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday when exhibits are on display.
