MOCA Talk-Cameron and the LA Counterculture
Sunday, December 14, 3:00 pm
West Hollywood City Council Chambers
625 N. San Vicente Blvd.
Join poet, author, and publisher Tosh Berman; artists Jean Ferro and George Herms; and poet David Meltzer for an exploration of Cameron's personal influence and artistic importance. Artist, performer, occultist, and poet Marjorie Cameron Parsons Kimmel (known simply as Cameron) is an under-recognized, and at times misunderstood, figure in the Los Angeles counterculture. Both her artistic and spiritual endeavors are interwoven with (and essential to) the histories of the Los Angeles occult, and avant-garde, and beat culture. Exhibition curator Yael Lipshutz will moderate. Attendees are encouraged to view the exhibition before and after the conversation. This free talk is presented by MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and hosted by the City of West Hollywood through its Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission.
