Single Wing Turquoise Bird Light Show January 22, 2012

Los Angeles Filmforum will presented a multilayered light show and expanded cinema performance by Single Wing Turquoise Bird, a critical artist collective originally active in Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Single Wing Turquoise Bird Light Show is part of the groundbreaking cultural program, Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. from 1945 to 1980. Starting in October 2011, more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California will come together to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene and how it became a major force in the art world.

The campaign features unexpected pairings between pop culture icons of today with artists featured within Pacific Standard Time. “Celebrate the Era that Continues to Inspire the World” is the theme of the campaign, which celebrates how Los Angeles art from 1945 – 1980 continues to inspire the world of music, art, film and architecture of today.
