Fall Culture Travel: Copyright Murakami

Where: 152 North Central Ave. [map], Los Angeles, ca, United States, 90013

Our Fall Culture Map will give you things to ponder over that second piece of pie.

There's no faster way to our heart than putting together a rollicking art show by an artist who "effortlessly navigates between the worlds of fine art and popular culture." So we're gagging to get to The Geffen Contemporary branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art in LA.

Running until February 11, the oddly-titled exhibition features a retrospective of works by Japanese shining star Takashi Murakami, with painting, sculpture, film and installation all represented. (We're hoping to see some of his cherry-bedecked Louis Vuitton bags.)

© Murakami will also feature the premiere of the artist's newest animated film and a self-portrait in sculpture with Takashi as a buddha. If that's not blending high culture and low culture, we don't know what is. Oh, did we mention the show's in Los Angeles?

Fall Culture Travel: The Guggenheim's American Mashup

Where: 1071 Fifth Ave. [map], New York, ny, United States, 10128

Visit our Fall Culture Travel map to take advantage of what's left of fall--just because you're traveling for Thanksgiving doesn't mean you have to check your brain.

Photographer, painter and sculptor Richard Prince obviously lives in a different America than we do. How else could his massive multi-stage retrospective "Spiritual America," currently at New York City's much-scaffolded Guggenheim Museum, include threatening nurses, disembodied cars and Borscht Belt-style jokes written over canceled checks?

You'll probably love some of the series on display (like our favorites, the white-on-white collages incorporating "New Yorker" style cartoons) and hate others, but at least you'll walk out thinking. (And if you're jonesing for some classic modernism, there's a nifty selection of Kandinsky paintings from the permanent collection on display as well.)
