Time Out says

Who says sculptures are static? Check out Alexander Calder’s balancing acts of metal rods and sheeting which sway to the air currents. "Mobiles" and "stabiles" are on view in the exhition, which was designed with the help of Frank Gehry (you'll know it when you see it). After you see the show, head to the garden to see another Calder work, this one commissioned for LACMA back in the '60s. You'll probably recognize it from previous trips to the museum—it's known as "Hello Girls" but the proper name, FYI, is “Three Quintains." Wait for the breeze to hit and become hypnotized.
