Made in California: Art, Image, and Identity, 1900-2000.LA COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART How's this for an exhibition idea: "Touched by Human Hands: All the Art Ever Made by Anyone Anywhere, 30,000 B.C. to Just Last Tuesday"? OK, so I'm exaggerating: "Made in California," organized by LAGMA's Stephanie Barron and a team of curators, only surveys a century of painting, sculpture, photography, commercial art, couture, and--mais oui--video. Oh, and throw in a bit of cultural detritus detritus /de·tri·tus/ (de-tri´tus) particulate matter produced by or remaining after the wearing away or disintegration of a substance or tissue. de·tri·tus (d  -tr (tourist brochures, labor pamphlets) to boot. Sound overwhelming? Don't worry. As you leave "Section Five" (the '80s and '90s), you'll be treated to "a transition space free of visual images"--where you'll have plenty of time to ask yourself why vintage license plates have been so marginalized. Oct. 22, 2000-Feb. 25,2001.
