California, the Final Chapter: For those who have already checked out the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s sweeping exhibition, “Made in California: Art, Image and Identity 1900-2000,” a crucial piece was missing the present. LACMA opens the fifth installment in its riveting California story, 1980-2000, on Nov. 12. The new exhibit considers the impact of globalization and L.A.’s increasingly diverse and polarized population. It includes billboards by Robbie Conal and Pat Ward Williams, and all 30 of Chris Burden’s oversized LAPD uniforms. More information: (323) 857-6000 or www.lacma.org.

Long Live the Silents: It’s a little known fact that the only silent movie theater left in the United States is in L.A. at 611 N. Fairfax Ave. near Melrose Avenue. The Silent Movie Theater, re-opened last year by Charlie Lustman, celebrates its first anniversary Nov. 3-5 with a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times.” In the 1936 comedy classic, the Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman.
