Everyfew years inJanuary, as if on the heels of a fresh set ofNew
Ye ar’sresolutions, the L.A. Art Show tweaks its identity, unfurling across the Los Angeles Conven-
tion Center withrenewed gusto and a slightly revised mission.
When i t debuted in1995 at the Pasadena CivicAuditoriumfeaturing just14 U.S. galleries, the
event focused on historic American and Europeanwork. As the L.A.contemporary art scene began
to swell, the show, too, became decidedly morecontemporary, more international and bigger. This
year the show will host more than 100 galleries from 18 countries, and it expects about70,000 visi-
tors.
But not without reinvention — again.

But what other movies
will be joining them?Tues-
day’s Producers Guild of
America nominations for
feature film provideda hint
of what might happen when
Oscar nominations are an-
nouncedJan. 24.
In addition tothe afore-
mentioned trio offilms, PGA
voters nominated“Arrival,”
“Deadpool,” “Fences,”
“HacksawRidge,” “Hell or
HighWater,” “Hidden Fig-
ures” and “Lion.”
Notable movies left off
the list:Martin Scorsese’s
profound exploration of
faith, “Silence”; PabloLar-
raín’s superb look at political
myth-making,“Jackie”; and
Jeff Nichols’ moving civil
rights drama, “Loving.”
But— not to get all movie
snobby onyou —they had
room for the subversive
comic book movie “Dead-
pool.”
