BLOG WATCH: Fine Arts LA

Along with many other lucky visitors last week, I got a chance to see the inside of the brand new, as yet un-opened Resnick Pavilion, the latest addition to the already massive LACMA campus. The 45,000 square-foot wing was opened to the public for one day only, what LACMA termed a "flash visit" allowing museum-ers to get a glimpse of the freshly painted, immaculate Renzo Piano construction.

The room (if you can call a closed-off, one-acre section of land a room) was nearly empty; no brochure stands, no explanatory plaques, no museum guards, not even other guests. It was just me and the sole installation on view, which was Walter de Maria's "2000 Sculpture," composed of, you guessed it, 2000 pieces of intricately arranged polygonal rods, amounting to a rectangular grid the length of the entire Resnick floor.
