The Skirball Cultural Center presents The Singing Posters: Poetry Sound Collage Sculpture Book, artist Allen Ruppersberg's homage to poet Allen Ginsberg's famous poem Howl (1955-1956). It will be on view from May 7 through August 23, 2015. Ruppersberg first conceived of the work when he discovered that his students at UCLA had never heard of the poem. For the artist, it was a way to introduce Howl - which marks its sixtieth anniversary this year - to a new generation. By examining this seminal work of Ginsberg - a prominent American Jewish poet, free thinker, and voice of the Beat Generation - Ruppersberg revives the spirit of the era.

From today, March 24 through August, the Skirball Cultural Center presents Rock & Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip, featuring works by Los Angeles-based photographer Robert Landau.
