LACMA, Los Angeles
The Genesis Talks brings LACMA's CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan together with some of the most influential artists, architects, and cultural leaders shaping how we see and experience art today. Each conversation sparks bold ideas, explores pressing questions, and connects LACMA's encyclopedic collection to the evolving role of museums in the 21st century. The inaugural talk features artist **Jeff Koons**, whose *Split-Rocker* (2000) was recently acquired by LACMA, reflecting on how monumental outdoor works activate public space and inspire new ways of seeing.
