SUMMARY:Susan Maddux Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Free \nLos Angeles artist Susan Maddux uses origami-inspired folding to transform paintings\, creating hybrid objects that exist in the space between painting and sculpture.\nAs a 4th generation hapa-Japanese born and raised in Hawaii with stints on the continent growing up\, Maddux has a complex relationship with her heritage. This work explores reconnection with personal history and place through the transformation of material and the ritual of gesture. \nMaddux has a degree in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute\, and worked professionally as a surface pattern designer for many years. A decade ago\, she began creating powerful pieces by gently folding paintings composed of repeating patterns. Forms that bring to mind a kimono or a cape began to appear\, bringing together her interests in the figure\, spirituality\, and textiles. \nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Blvd\, Culver City\, CA 90232

SUMMARY:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture explores the multidimensional influence of hip-hop on our urban fabric.\nCurated and designed by Sekou Cooke\, and jointly presented by SoCalNOMA\, the A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District\, this dynamic exhibition dives into the rich and vibrant world of hip-hop\, from its fundamental elements of emceeing\, b-boying\, and graffiti\, to its influence on the world of design and architecture.\nThe exhibition shows how hip-hop has been translated into the creation of innovative spaces and structures\, effectively introducing a new narrative in architecture. The works on display include groundbreaking contributions from students\, academics\, and practitioners\, ranging from experimental visualizations and innovative installations to façade studies and urban development proposals. Also on show: a wall newly graffitied by Los Angeles artist Prime. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture is more than an exhibition. It’s a journey into a revolutionary design movement\, revealing a shared vision for the future of architecture that’s deeply rooted in the core ethos of hip hop: identity\, process\, and aesthetics. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture opens on June 22\, with an opening reception on June 24th from 6 pm to 9 pm.

SUMMARY:Susan Maddux Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Free \nLos Angeles artist Susan Maddux uses origami-inspired folding to transform paintings\, creating hybrid objects that exist in the space between painting and sculpture.\nAs a 4th generation hapa-Japanese born and raised in Hawaii with stints on the continent growing up\, Maddux has a complex relationship with her heritage. This work explores reconnection with personal history and place through the transformation of material and the ritual of gesture. \nMaddux has a degree in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute\, and worked professionally as a surface pattern designer for many years. A decade ago\, she began creating powerful pieces by gently folding paintings composed of repeating patterns. Forms that bring to mind a kimono or a cape began to appear\, bringing together her interests in the figure\, spirituality\, and textiles. \nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Blvd\, Culver City\, CA 90232

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Breakfast Talk: Reviving Transit Ridership
DESCRIPTION:Reviving Transit Ridership\nThursday\, June 29th\, 2023
\nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\n8:30 am – 9:30 am PST \nDoors open at 7:45 for registration\, breakfast and networking. \nRSVP Required!

  \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			Members Register Here\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n			Nonmembers Register Here\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n			\nLos Angeles County transit agencies are investing billions in new bus and rail infrastructure and services. Two new rail lines have opened on the Westside in the past ten years\, with more to come. However\, transit ridership is trending in the opposite direction. Ridership on the Los Angeles Metro system is down by approximately one third from pre-pandemic levels. Reasons include everything from work-from-home to increased crime and vagrancy\, reduced service hours\, and increased vehicle headways. And things could get even worse\, as decreased farebox recovery and expiring pandemic emergency funds apply even more pressure to reduce levels of service. If Angelenos avoid the train and bus\, opting for personal vehicles and Zoom\, what does that mean for Los Angeles? Regionwide goals for reducing pollution and increasing transit-oriented development\, walkability\, and housing production are all at stake. \nAt WUF this month\, LA Metro officials and transit advocates will survey the challenges facing Metro and other transit service providers. Join us for a panel discussion on ways to maintain transit service\, attract riders\, and make the most of the crucial infrastructure and civic amenity that the Los Angeles region needs. \nPanelists\nSteve Fiechter\, Sr.\, Director of Metro Services\, People Assisting the Homeless (PATH)\nDaniel Rodman\, Deputy Director Transportation\, Mayor Karen Bass’s Office\nPamela Krebs\, Executive Officer\, Los Angeles Metro\, Communications – Public Relations\nStephen Tu\, Sr. Director for Operations\, Los Angeles Metro \nModerator\nEli Lipmen\, Executive Director\, Move LA \nRegistration Fees
\n$50 Members\n$65 Non-Members\n$10 Student Members & Retired Members\n$15 Student Non-Members & Retired Non-Members \nPre-registration closes on Wednesday\, June 28th\, at 4:00 PM. After Wednesday\, June 28th\, onsite registration will be available at the cost of an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this day. \nEvent Time
\n7:45 am – 9:30 am\n7:45 am – Registration & Light Breakfast\n8:30 am – Panel Discussion \nLocation
\nThe Helms Design Center is located at the Helms Bakery campus at 8745 Washington Boulevard in Culver City. \nDirections\nAvoid the stress of rush hour and skip traffic! The Helms Design Center at 8745 Washington Blvd in Culver City is conveniently located a short\, pleasant walk from a number of transit lines\, including: \n\nMetro Rail “E” (Expo) Line Culver City Station (1 block west at Washington and National Blvds)\, and\nCulver City Bus “1” and “1C1” lines (at the adjacent Washington Blvd/Helms Avenue street corner).\n\nProtected bike lanes along Washington Blvd. connecting to Culver City’s larger bike lane network also provide a convenient\, safe way to get to the Design Center. \nFor those who choose to drive\, parking is available in the adjacent interior parking garage at 8711 Washington Blvd (look for the red banners)\, or there is parking available throughout the Helms Bakery complex.\nParking Map \nSponsor Provided Tickets\nThanks to the generosity of our annual Sponsors\, WUF has a small number of free tickets available to members of the community.  If you are not able to join as a member or purchase a ticket for this month’s panel presentation\, but would like to join us\, please write us at info@westsideurbanforum.com to inquire if we have any remaining sponsor provided tickets. \nImage: CartoonLover66 via Wikimedia Commons (CC-BY-SA-4.0)

The works on display include groundbreaking contributions from students\, academics\, and practitioners\, ranging from experimental visualizations and innovative installations to façade studies and urban development proposals. Also on show: a wall newly graffitied by Los Angeles artist Prime. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture is more than an exhibition. It’s a journey into a revolutionary design movement\, revealing a shared vision for the future of architecture that’s deeply rooted in the core ethos of hip hop: identity\, process\, and aesthetics. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture opens on June 22\, with an opening reception on June 24th from 6 pm to 9 pm. It will be accompanied by talks and tours presented by SoCal NOMA\, A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District. \nCurator: Sekou Cooke\nExhibition Design: Sekou Cooke\nGraffiti Artist: Prime \nArtwork above: HHA Signifyin’ project by Nate Williams\, 1993. \n\nThe exhibition is free and open to the public. \n8707 Washington Blvd\, Culver City CA 90232 \nExhibition Dates: June 22 – September 17\nHours: Thursday – Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			RSVP HERE\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		Close to the Edge Exhibition at SpringBox in St.Paul\, MN.\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		Close to the Edge exhibition at Center for Architecture\, New York\, NY.
