Los Angeles Goes Live (LAGL) is an exhibition, performance series and publication project that explores the histories and legacies of performance art in Southern California in the 1970s and early 80s and their connection to current practices. The exhibition will be shown in LACE’s galleries from October 2011-January 2012. Concurrently, the LACE Live! Performance series will feature re-inventions of historical performances and performative actions staged throughout the city.

Since 2009 LACE has been working with an outstanding team of performance artists and scholars to develop this project, including Peggy Phelan, Amelia Jones, Suzanne Lacy, Jerri Allyn, Ulysses Jenkins, Cheri Gaulke, Liz Glynn, Heather Cassils, Dorian Wood, Denise Uyehara and OJO. Additionally, the LAGL Advisory Board includes Meiling Cheng, Ondine Chavoya, Dino Dinco, Peter Frank, Gronk, Susan Martin, Jane McFadden, Glenn R. Phillips, Carl Stone and Johanna Went.

LAGL is part of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, an initiative by the Getty Foundation that includes 50 arts and cultural organizations throughout Southern California.
