Pacific Standard Time Overview
Pacific Standard Time is the culmination of a long-term Getty Research Institute initiative that focuses on postwar art in Los Angeles. Through archival acquisitions, oral history interviews, public programming, exhibitions, and publications, the Research Institute is responding to the need to locate, collect, document, and preserve the art historical record of this vibrant period. Between October 2011 and February 2012, a major exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum will present a survey of postwar painting and sculpture in Los Angeles, accompanied by a book that is at once an exhibition catalog and an overview of postwar art history in Southern California.
As part of this initiative, project organizers are conducting an extensive series of oral histories with many of Los Angeles’s key artists, filmmakers, curators, collectors, and critics. A concurrent exhibition at the Research Institute will present rich archival material from this historic period. At the same time, over 30 additional venues citywide will present exhibitions that cover practices as diverse as ceramic sculpture, postwar design, African American art, the Light and Space movement, and the history of the Los Angeles Woman’s Building, among others. In collaboration with many of these institutions, the Getty will organize a series of public programs that will include lectures, symposia, performance art, theater, concerts, readings, and film screenings.
