FRIDAY
100 Rooms @ SCI-Arc
100 Rooms, composed entirely of recycled paper. In this installation, Los Angeles-based firm Daly, Genik Architects has drawn inspiration from ancient sites such as Catahoyuk, Ur and El Kahun, where stone and brick were first tooled into modular component materials to give shape to simple rooms that clustered into complex spatial arrays. Through Sun 10/29.
Cocktails in Historic Places @ Cognac Room
Join all your friends in the Art Deco Society of L.A. in the Cognac Room, a chic, sleek Deco lounge located just behind the Gallery Bar. Never heard of it, you say? That’s because it’s tucked out of the way, just behind the hotel’s central bar – and its Art Deco murals set the perfect ambience for this month’s gathering.
Collection of Cher @ Beverly Hilton
Featuring 700 lots including paintings, furniture and decorative works of art from her Italian Renaissance-style residence in Malibu, CA as well as jewelry, stage-worn Bob Mackie costumes and memorabilia spanning her career Through Mon 10/2.

Which Side Are You On? @ Betalevel
Three multimedia diatribes about this angry, beautiful, and slowly warming world. PowerPoint, tangible electronics, performative lecture, next-gen positive vibrational dome music, dancing, and a maddeningly bright ramping halogen lamp will be employed to convince you to give up on darkness and step into the light.
