“RELIEF”

David Abir’s solo exhibition culminates in this final installation, and even if you haven’t seen the first three parts of the series, “Relief” isn’t to be missed. Based around a fictional historical narrative, the piece is like a visual-architectural “symphony,” using both geometric sculptures and shapes as well as reinterpretations of music by Mahler and Brahms. Also in the space is Israeli artist Miri Chais’ multimedia project that focuses on themes of technology in contemporary society. Tonight features a panel discussion with the artists. 4 p.m. Free. Exhibition runs through March 7. Shulamit Gallery, 17 N. Venice Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 281-0961. ” target=”_blank”>lacma.org.

“FOLKSONGS OF MODERNITY: A JUDEO-SPANISH PERSPECTIVE”

Sounds a little like an oxymoron, no? Where does a folk song, whose very nature is days of yore, fit into contemporary times? Professor of musicology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Edwin Seroussi posits that today’s touristic excursions, pilgrimages and fieldtrips to ruins sites are actually analogous to the performance and modern consumption of folksongs. Mark Kligman moderates. 4 p.m. Free. Room 314 at Royce Hall at UCLA, 340 Royce Drive, Los Angeles. (310) 267-5327.

ERIC GARCETTI AND “AIRPLANE!”

He’s a jazz pianist, a Rhodes scholar, our mayor and a fan of the 1980 classic comedy about an ill-fated journey from L.A. to Chicago featuring, but not limited to, an inflatable doll and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar playing the role of pilot. The mayor will sit down with KCRW’s Madeleine Brand (host of “Press Play”) to talk about why this is his pick for favorite movie, what the film means to him and his personal definition of funny. 7 p.m. Free. The Million Dollar Theatre, 307 S. Broadway, Los Angeles.
