Los Angeles, California: Henry Rollins Hosts Outdoor Movie Series

“Underground Forces” — videos from 1977 to 1984 — kicks off CineMOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art’s outdoor screening series at the canopied plaza outside the Geffen Contemporary. Black Flag’s former frontman Henry Rollins will play old-school punk songs from his iPod, selected especially for the night.

“It’s MOCA’s version of the drive-in movie theater,” says Suzanne Isken, the museum’s director of education. “It’s something that’s been lost — that feeling you have as a kid watching a movie outdoors.” The six-Saturday series continues with films chosen by artists including Edward Ruscha, Larry Clark, Edgar Arceneaux, and Amy Adler.

“It fascinates me that Ed Ruscha picked ‘The Ox-Bow Incident,’” Isken says. “It says something about his work that we could never get from anything else.”
