Exhibition of digital art

Exhibition of contemporary art works investigates the exciting dialogue between art and science

On display will be Listening Post, by Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin, offering a real-time representation of global communication moving at the speed of light; Protrude, Flow, by Sachiko Kodama and Minako Takeno, an electromagnetic installation in which liquid seems to defy gravity; and several works by Jim Campbell, including three from his Ambiguous Icons series, which are meditations on our perceptions of light and time. Organized by Glenn Phillips, Research Associate and Consulting Curator of the Getty Research Institute's Department of Contemporary Programs and Research, Time/Space, Gravity, and Light coincides with the Getty Research Institute's 2004­2005 research theme of 'Duration,' which marks the 20th anniversary of the Getty's scholar program.

Lori Starr, Senior Vice President of the Skirball Cultural Center and Director of the Skirball Museum, remarked, 'In organizing the landmark exhibition Einstein, it would have been inconceivable not to also investigate the lasting impact of Einstein's theories on art and culture today. We were pleased to turn to our friends at the Getty Research Institute, who are engaged in exciting scholarship this year examining the temporal dimension and experience of art, to celebrate the enduring relationship between the visual arts, science and technology. We believe that this exhibition, together with Einstein, will fascinate our visitors and generate new dialogue.'

Thomas Crow, Director of the Getty Research Institute, added, 'Einstein first determined that time and space are anything but fixed, and visual artists working today, along with their audiences, have looked beyond the ordinary dimensions of perception. The works in Time/Space, Gravity, and Light are striking examples of such innovative, experimental art, and we are delighted to bring them to Los Angeles in the context of the Skirball's presentation of Einstein.'

In addition to Time/Space, Gravity, and Light, the Getty will present a series of lectures and film screenings with the Skirball that will range from rare documentary footage of Einstein to artists' experimentations with abstract visual renderings of time, space and light.

Exhibition Hours: Tuesday­Saturday 12:00­5:00 p.m.; Sunday 11:00 a.m.­5:00 p.m.; extended hours on Thursday evenings 5:00­9:00 p.m., through December 30, 2004 only, except holidays (see below); closed Mondays and on the following holidays: November 11, November 25, January 1, and additional days in 2005 to be announced.
