LIZA LOU – THE CLASSIFICATION AND NOMENCLATURE OF CLOUDS (个展)

The Crest Theatre first opened on Christmas Day, 1940, and though it has changed hands – and names – several times since then, the Art Deco façade sitting on Westwood Boulevard has always been a head-turner; located near the UCLA campus, the building had continued to catch Kristy Edmunds’s eye over the years. The Executive and Artistic Director for the Center for the Art of Performance (CAP) at UCLA had been able to gain access to the 500-seat space for the occasional performance (the venue was originally a theatre for live performance built for Frances Seymour Fonda before being converted to a newsreel cinema during WWII), but felt that its potential was still left untapped. – 克雷斯特剧院于1940年圣诞节首次开张，尽管从那时起它已经易手改名了好几次，但坐落在韦斯特伍德大道上的装饰艺术总让人头晕目眩；这座建筑位于加州大学洛杉矶分校附近，多年来一直吸引着克里斯蒂·埃德蒙兹的目光。加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）表演艺术中心（CAP）的执行和艺术总监已经能够获得500个座位的临时演出空间（该场地原本是为弗朗西斯·西摩·方达建造的现场演出剧院，二战期间改为新闻片电影院），但他认为它的潜力仍然没有开发。
