Celia Hollander makes the kind of durational, time-bending sound work that rewards being in the room, and The Wende Museum's intimate Culver City setting is a rare match for it. This is a Saturday-afternoon show for anyone who'd rather listen closely than shout over a PA — a chance to catch experimental music in a quiet, art-forward space instead of a loud club.
What to expect
Expect an intimate, seated or standing listening set inside the Wende's Community Center rather than a rowdy concert — attentive, low-key, and best suited to fans of ambient and experimental sound. Hollander's work often plays with duration, texture, and a sense of time, so plan to settle in and give it your full attention. The 2pm start makes it an easy add to a museum afternoon.
Good to know
- The Wende is on Culver Blvd near the Culver City Metro E Line station and offers free on-site parking, so both driving and transit are workable.
- It starts at 2pm on a Saturday — arrive a few minutes early to grab a good spot and pair it with the museum's Cold War galleries, which are typically free.
- Bring water and dress in layers for an indoor listening set; check the official site to confirm whether it's free or ticketed and if RSVP is required.
Going? Keep it.
