The Other Cheek @ Found Gallery
Several L.A.-based artists present various mediums of art surrounding long-gestating events from the past – be it an older sibling you never got to out-muscle or a perfect stranger who targeted you for no reason, everyone has an unresolved issue they’d love to or need to revisit, in hopes of gaining some closure on the matter. “The Other Cheek” offers this chance. Through Mon 7/2.

Panelists III @ GR2
Giant Robot’s annual comics-related group show puts a spotlight on comic creators of all kinds, from stapled-and-folded stars of DIY and veterans of Marvel and DC Comics to art gallery heavyweights.

SILENCE = DEATH @ Drkrm.
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of ACT UP/Los Angeles, the exhibition features the work of Chuck Stallard, who documented one of the most dramatic and successful protest groups in recent history.

SUNDAY
Cinespia: Holy Mountain @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Surreal, shocking and breathtakingly beautiful, Holy Mountain is the pinnacle of avante-garde filmmaking. The alchemist guides his disciples through a phantasmagoric landscape to the holy mountain so that they may confront the gods.

Gates at 7:30pm. Movie at 9pm. $10 donation tickets available at gate. DJ Carlos Nino spins before and after the show.
