“Clavileño” is Elham Rokni’s new exhibition that explores the relationship between light, movement and narrative. Anchored by two videos, the exhibition features large-scale abstract works that bring brightness to the dramatically dark installation. The title video, “Clavileño,” features a car driving in total darkness, employing the power of imagination as the viewer’s journey down a darkened road connects to a world of possibilities. The works on paper surrounding the video also provide a structure to the many possible narratives. Writer and curator Laura Fried will be in conversation with the Iran-born, Israel-based artist. 2 p.m. Free. Shulamit Nazarian, 17 N. Venice Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 281-0961. SUN | FEB 7
