FRIDAY

Work from “Ed “Big Daddy” Roth Studios @ La Luz de Jesus
Roth, no longer in the underground, (though he is sadly located there now) is a rock star in his own right. See these unbelievably rare lowbrow pop art hieroglyphics in person, as you will probably never see the original artwork for these disposable masterpieces ever again. Through Sun 7/1.

Studio 360 Live @ The Getty
Kurt Andersen brings Studio 360 to the Getty Center to tape the show before a live audience, talking with some of Los Angeles’ creative movers and shakers. Playwright and actress Iris Bahr, whose multicharacter monologue Dai was a huge success in New York, talks about world politics and performs new material. Hitmaker Alexandra Patsavas explains how she finds unknown gems as music supervisor for programs like Grey’s Anatomy, and shares some of what’s kicking around her iPod. And East L.A. contenders Quetzal show how they’re pushing the boundaries of Chicano rock to a new level of cool.
