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 2004Â2005 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.
