Buoyantly hued and accented with the iconography of her hometown, Los Angeles, Lauren Halsey’s art has garnered attention in recent years for its flair and maximalist spirit. Now she takes on one of her biggest venues yet with an architectural structure called The Eastside of South Central Los Angeles Hieroglyph Prototype Architecture (I) on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Visitors will be able to explore the space adorned with imagery borrowed from sources as diverse as 1960s utopian architecture, graffiti tagging, and ancient Egypt. metmuseum.org

EJ Hill, an artist known for his physically exhausting durational performances, is inviting visitors to be the star of his debut museum solo show with their own thrilling challenge. Emerging in a blue cart from behind a velvet curtain, a solitary rider plummets over the bubblegum-pink tracks of a roller coaster before ending on a stage. Embedded in the exhilarating installation is a meditation on the history of segregation in American amusement parks and how social inequities can be confronted with joy. massmoca.org

In the pop culture proliferation of Keith Haring’s kinetic drawings of radiant babies, barking dogs, and dancing figures, the activism in which the artist was engaged is sometimes overlooked. This first sweeping survey of the late artist’s work to be held in Los Angeles highlights his advocacy for nuclear disarmament, ending Apartheid in South Africa, and visibility for the AIDS crisis. Haring’s spirit of participation in his art is also celebrated in elements like an immersive blacklight room filled with Day-Glo paintings and sculptures. thebroad.org
