Final Frame
In its final week, “Three Fragments of a Lost Tale: Sculpture and Story by John Frame” continues to make headlines. Check out what people are saying in Art Ltd. Magazine, Art Week LA, Huffington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. And make plans to see the show before it closes June 27.
The Mean Streets of L.A.
A new video game used street maps from the Library’s holdings to lay the foundation for their vintage cityscape. The final result is a gritty, three-dimensional virtual city where gamers will be able to immerse themselves in a realistic world of noir.
The World of John Frame
For the better part of five years, Frame has been assembling a body of work that features, at its core, an eclectic cast of fully articulated characters. The figures are a combination of meticulously carved wood and found materials.
Hidden Manuscript Collections
A “hidden collection” is a collection that is largely unknown to researchers, usually because it hasn’t been processed (arranged, described, conserved). This is no use to researchers—you can’t ask for something if you don’t know it exists—and there is a great push within the archival profession to make these “hidden collections” visible through simpler processing and online catalogs. The Los Angeles Times company records is probably one of the least-hidden “hidden collections” we have.
