Building on the cult-like status of last year’s 77 BoaDrum—when experimental noise rock band, the Boredoms, gathered 77 drummers on 07/07/07 to play in Brooklyn—Nike is hosting this year’s 88BoaDrum at the La Brea Tar Pits, right next to LACMA. This time, as you might expect, 8 is the operative number.

Featuring: 88 drummers
For: 88 minutes
On: 08/08/08
At: 8:08 pm

This event is guaranteed to sell out fast. Tickets (one per person) are free but necessary for entrance, so be sure to pick yours up in person at LACMA’s box office soon!

Darren Waterston has a long, very accomplished history under his belt. His abstract paintings and prints line the halls of MOMA, LACMA, Portland Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Crocker Art Museum. Earlier this year his series “Last Days” debuted at Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle. We are huge fans of Darrens work. Pictured are selections from his 2007 collection entitled “The Flowering” as well as selections from the “Last Days” collection. To see more of his recent work visit him here
