This February ‘DRIVE’ will open with The Parking Space, featuring a Chevrolet Caprice and Impala, a Ferrari 328 GTS and a Ligier microcar, parked in the gallery alongside a video in which Rhoades fervidly discourses on his concept of the Car Projects. While driving around Los Angeles in 1998, Rhoades explains the relationship of cars to his art (parking is equated with sitting in a sculpture) and to daily practice (driving between the house, the studio and stores is time and space for the mind to race and wander). He expounds on cars as icons of art history (Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia speeded modern art forward with their mechanized abstractions), identifiers of class (you are what you drive) and environments of control. The radio is tuned to Power 106 FM and as the world streams by to the propulsive hip-hop beat, the romance of cars seems irresistible.
In April, the installation will be reconfigured to accommodate a lounge and become The Pit. An influx of archival materials will be key to unpacking the various episodes of Rhoades’ Car Projects, starting with the Caprice and the 1996 exhibition ‘Traffic.’ Not only did the artist cut a deal with CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France the organizers of the show, to go in on buying him the car as a transactional work of art, he later leveraged its symbolic value by trading the Caprice for a Ferrari.
This summer the exhibition’s focus will swerve onto The Racetrack. A set of half-scale NASCAR-style cars, custom jackets and colorfully painted tire barriers are among what remains of ‘The Snowball.’ Staged in California as a daylong racing event at Willow Springs speedway, ‘The Snowball’ was ultimately destined for the 2000 Venice Biennale and Rhoades’ collaborative work for the Danish Pavilion. In September, The Garage will cover the final stretch of ‘DRIVE’ with a selection of framed works on paper and a major sculptural installation.
Throughout the year, the line-up for ‘DRIVE’ will feature a range of public programs. A film series centered on cars and the city of Los Angeles will be curated by film historian and critic Elvis Mitchell. A theatrical staging of the playwright Charles Mee’s ‘Under Construction,’ which was inspired by Rhoades’ art in its collage depiction of America today, will be presented as part of Hauser & Wirth’s Performance Project.
Organized as an investigation in real time, ‘DRIVE’ invites people to approach the exhibition like a garage of art and ideas, in which cars are coming and going and tinkering is a productive state of mind. As an artist, Rhoades was keenly attuned to sources of cultural power and weakness. When he put the internal combustion engine on art’s pedestal, was he presciently placing the car where it belongs for a greener tomorrow? The car as a subject in Rhoades’ art continues to drive and trouble the imagination today.

It&#39;s a good deal. Buy one get one free for two-day tickets. You can enter directly by scanning the QR code. It&#39;s very convenient. There weren&#39;t many people on the two days I went there, which was not a weekend. I played all the projects and the waiting time was not long.

Real &quot;filter&quot; test:

Besieged by commercial noise: The streets are filled with cheap souvenir shops, high-decibel music, and artists selling CDs, and the environment is noisy and chaotic. The romantic imagination of &quot;starlight&quot; is easily shattered by reality.
Expectation management is crucial: don&#39;t expect to meet a star (the probability is very small) or bump into a movie shoot. The Avenue of Stars is essentially a memorial landmark, not a theme park.
Trap area tips: Be careful of high-priced and low-cost attractions such as wax museums and horror houses; be wary of those who actively approach and provide &quot;services&quot;.

Is it worth going? The key lies in the purpose:

Hardcore movie fans/film history enthusiasts: must go! *The feeling of touching the idol&#39;s mark with your own hands and being in the Oscar Hall is irreplaceable.
Tourists who check in Los Angeles for the first time: You can go, but strictly control the time and expectations. Focus on the ritual of &quot;star hunting&quot; (reserve 1 hour), visit the exterior of the Chinese Theater, and look at the mountain landmark from a distance, and regard it as a cultural symbol check-in point.
*Those who seek in-depth cultural experience/hate crowded and noisy: choose carefully or avoid it. The noise may be far beyond

Don&#39;t miss the beautiful outdoor pool at the Getty Villa Museum. It is very beautiful. It forms a beautiful landscape with flowers and plants outdoors. This also reflects the richness of the villa.
