Sundial Climate

LOS ANGELES—Getty announced today <a href="https://www.getty.edu/publications/pst-art-climate-impact-report-2025/">a new report</a> on its inaugural PST ART Climate Impact Program, with baseline measurements about carbon emissions, material waste, and more from 40 exhibitions tied to the latest edition of the nation’s largest art event, PST ART. The project creates the most expansive dataset on the carbon impact of exhibition-making and will inform the next edition of PST ART in 2030. It also jump-started greener exhibition practices among participating institutions, with many completing their first-ever climate impact report and taking concrete steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
Art museums have the highest average energy consumption of all cultural institutions in the United States, and the activities and materials connected to planning and mounting exhibitions are prime targets for reducing emissions and waste. While museums recognize data tracking is essential in order to take action, there has been little standardization for measuring the climate impact of exhibition practices. The regionwide collaboration created by PST ART offered a strong network to unify data reporting.
“Organizations of all sizes were eager to participate—from larger museums to university art galleries—and PST ART gave us all the chance to learn together and tackle these issues as a community,” said Joan Weinstein, director of the Getty Foundation. “You can’t reduce your carbon footprint if you don’t measure it, so data collection was a crucial first step. We were heartened to see how many partners across the region took this opportunity to try alternative methods and materials and commit to new eco-friendly exhibition practices right away.”
Many of the nearly 70 exhibitions in PST ART’s latest edition, PST ART: Art &amp; Science Collide, were focused on themes of climate change and environmental justice. Getty responded to this common interest by rallying the community and developing the Climate Impact Program with the climate strategy firm <a href="https://climateconsulting.art/">LHL Consulting</a> and its founder Laura Lupton along with artist Debra Scacco.
Participation in the program was voluntary, yet all PST ART partners joined at least one educational webinar led by LHL Consulting about climate impact reduction tactics and nearly every institution met with the LHL team one-on-one to receive support. LHL also provided climate action tools and a standardized reporting framework to the entire PST ART cohort, with more than two-thirds of the group completing reports.
“One thing that is abundantly clear is that art institutions want to take climate action. Some previously lacked the resources to begin, while others simply did not have the bandwidth to take on this work,” said Laura Lupton at LHL Consulting. “There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so we worked with Getty to ensure a welcoming community and reinforce with our PST ART partners that just by making an effort—big or small—they are making an impact.”

According to the report, flights were among the highest emissions, followed by air freight. Data analysis revealed that switching from air to sea travel for art transport could have reduced the total PST ART emissions by 18 percent. The total emissions—with just over half of all PST ART projects reporting—was 2,167 tCO2, which equates to enough carbon dioxide to power the electricity of 452 homes in the U.S. for an entire year.
The Climate Impact Program became a catalyst for change as partners prepared for their exhibitions, even though it was not an explicit goal to reduce PST ART’s carbon footprint. Some institutions chose to partner with local artists to reduce the need for travel and artwork shipping, including the University of California, San Diego and Birch Aquarium at Scripps. At Getty, curators opted for train travel instead of flying during research trips.
When it came to exhibition materials, 80% of partners implemented waste reduction strategies, with five institutions reporting zero waste to landfills and three using entirely reused and recycled materials. The Huntington opted to eliminate the use of drywall in favor of reusable plywood panels for temporary walls. The plywood walls have already been repurposed for at least five subsequent installations, saving the institution money in the long-term.
“During the run of our PST ART exhibition, 'Storm Cloud: Picturing the Origins of Our Climate Crisis,' we found that our involvement in the Climate Impact Program sparked meaningful conversations both with our visitors and among our own colleagues,” said The Huntington’s Melinda McCurdy, curator of British art, and Karla Nielsen, senior curator of literary collections. “The program offered resources and structure to think collectively and intentionally about the environmental impact of our temporary exhibitions, and it has pushed us to set a higher bar for our future work."
Change was also possible for smaller museums, and curators at Craft Contemporary turned climate-conscious decisions into real budget savings. The team switched from vinyl to paper wall labels for their exhibition, a sustainable solution that reduced expenditures by $10,000. They also devised new packing methods to use less tape, and chose off-the-shelf, recyclable, and reusable materials whenever possible.
“The sustainability decisions for our PST ART exhibition have inspired Craft Contemporary to commit to a goal of producing zero waste exhibitions within five years,” reported the museum’s director Rody Lopez. “The response from our team and peer institutions is truly energizing. We’ve already hosted visits to share our methods and help spread the word that climate action is possible.”
Additional waste reduction efforts include Getty’s reuse of past exhibition seating and opting for QR codes instead of purchasing new video display monitors. The Lancaster Museum of Art and History and Self Help Graphics &amp; Art reused exhibition walls from a previous display that were originally scheduled for demolition, avoiding landfill waste. The Wende Museum also reused past exhibition walls and display cases, consolidated art shipments, and created a new reusable art object label design—all of which helped them lower costs compared to previous exhibitions.
Many museums even reconsidered which vendors to work with for exhibitions. “Publications can generate harmful pollutants, so we chose Conti Tipocolor to produce our catalog because of their commitments to sustainable printing practices,” said Cassandra Coblentz, the independent curator behind the Oceanside Museum of Art’s “Transformative Currents” exhibition about art and environmental action in the Pacific Ocean. For the Hammer Museum’s exhibition catalog, they made sustainable production choices in collaboration with the graphic design studio Polymode. Another institution, Fulcrum Arts, invited the fabricator for two major installations in their “Energy Fields” exhibition co-presented with Chapman University to join Climate Impact Program educational webinars. As a result, the team at Studio Sereno switched to eco-friendly wood and sheep wool insulation, committed to complete reuse of all materials, and radically transformed their approach to fabrication for the future.

Getty is committed to continuing this work with partners for PST ART and has long been working towards greener practices, including its <a href="https://www.getty.edu/projects/managing-collection-environments-initiative/">Managing Collection Environments</a> initiative, which began in 2013 with the goal of advancing scientific research and field work for the sustainable management of collection environments in museums, libraries, and archives. Another initiative, <a href="https://www.getty.edu/projects/getty-global-art-sustainability-fellows/">Getty Global Art &amp; Sustainability Fellows</a>, is fostering a new generation of leaders focused on arts and sustainability through research and professional development. Getty also appointed its first sustainability director Camille Kirk in 2023 to help advance the institution’s sustainability goals.

Los Angeles, Calif. – Sept. 16, 2025 – <a href="http://www.pbssocal.org/">PBS SoCal</a>, Southern California’s flagship PBS organization, announced today its new documentary, ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE, which weaves together compelling stories of artists participating in the Getty’s 2024-2025 Southern California art event, PST ART. Exploring the deep, often overlooked connections between two fields commonly seen as opposites — art and science — the film highlights collaborations between artists and scientists in Southern California to address some of humanity’s most urgent challenges, from climate change and space exploration to biodiversity and environmental justice. The program is produced for PBS by PBS SoCal, in association with Actual Films (“Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore” and “Athlete A”) and Academy Award-nominated filmmakers, Director Jessica Kingdon and Producer Serin Marshall. The one-hour special ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE premieres Fri., Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. on PBS SoCal and at 10 p.m. ET/PT (<a href="http://www.pbs.org/tv_schedules/">check local listings</a>) on PBS stations nationwide, <a href="http://www.pbs.org/">PBS.org</a> and the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/pbs-video-app/">PBS App.</a> 
“Providing all Americans with free access to the arts is a cornerstone of our mission, now more than ever,” said Wendy Llinás, Senior Director, General Audience Programming &amp; Development at PBS. “With ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE, we aspire to ignite curiosity and creativity, strengthening the cultural health of our nation by bringing communities together through the rich exchange of science and arts education.”
The film showcases PST ART, the largest art project in the United States, which also serves as a revolutionary model for public programming at an unprecedented scale. Getty’s PST ART featured over 800 artists in mind-expanding explorations of the intersections of art and science, both past, present and future across Southern California. Topics ranged from ancient cosmology to Indigenous sci-fi, and from artificial intelligence to environmental justice. Other programs ranged from cutting-edge performing arts commissions to rocket launches and from participatory art projects and action-centered discussions to free outdoor art and science family festivals. 
“I’m incredibly proud to help make the groundbreaking work of PST ART accessible to audiences nationwide,” said Katherine E. Fleming, President &amp; CEO of The J. Paul Getty Trust. “PBS is one of the most powerful cultural platforms in the country, and this partnership offers an extraordinary opportunity to share the creativity, collaboration, and innovation in art and science that emerged from PST ART’s many Southern California institution partners with viewers everywhere.”
The documentary highlights a range of powerful collaborations. The five main artists profiled in the film include:
<ul><li>American Artist reimagines the early days of rocket science through the lens of science fiction writer Octavia Butler. Their project, “The Monophobic Response,” includes a recreation of a 1936 rocket test, exploring themes of racial equity, climate crisis and alternate futures. It positions space exploration not as a corporate dream, but as a necessity for marginalized communities envisioning survival beyond Earth.</li><li>Cannupa Hanska Luger introduces large scale figures wearing “sovereignty suits”—futuristic, cultural armor that blends Indigenous knowledge traditions with speculative technology. His sculptures act as time-travelers, carrying ancestral wisdom between multiple realities of space and time. He reframes survival as cultural continuity and critiques the dominant, colonial narratives of space travel.</li><li>Special Species is an artist collective formed by Jason Chang, Joel Fernando, and
Yesenia Prieto. They spotlight California’s special-status species through piñata-based representations. Drawing on Mexican folk traditions, they blend education, conservation and dreamlike imagery to raise awareness about biodiversity. Their work reclaims undervalued crafts and overlooked animal species as vital parts of our ecosystem.</li><li>Environmental artist Lauren Bon recounts her long-term intervention in the L.A. River’s concrete infrastructure through her project “Bending the River.” Her work reveals the hidden flows beneath the city—both underground rivers and the buried histories of the floodplain—and demonstrates the regenerative potential of soil, water and native crops such as corn. Through these acts, Bon frames environmental healing and reparation as inseparable from art-led activism.</li><li>Themes of permeability, memory and microbiota emerge in the work of Hayv Kahraman. A refugee from Iraq, she explores how bodies—especially migrant bodies—interact with their surroundings at microscopic and spiritual levels. Her meditative flax-based marbling reflects both trauma and resilience, asking what it means to dismantle borders and embrace interconnection.</li></ul>
Additional artists and experts appearing in the film include John Mulchaey, President, Carnegie Science; Joel Ferree, Program Director, LACMA Art + Technology Lab; Andrew Perchuk, Deputy Director, Getty Research Institute; Katherine Fleming, President and CEO, J. Paul Getty Trust; Ahmed Best, Actor, Director, Educator, and Futurist; Shana Nys Dambrot, Art Critic; Joan
Weinstein, Director, Getty Foundation; Chris Weisbart, Associate Vice President, Exhibitions, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County; Debra Scacco, Curator, “Brackish Water” and Fiona Lindsay Shen, Director, Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Art Collection.
As part of PBS SoCal’s efforts around PST ART, the organization produced 11 short films featuring some of Southern California’s top arts and culture destinations that included the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California African American Museum, The Autry Museum of the American West and many more. 
Other original content from PBS SoCal created around PST ART included the organization’s award-winning environmental series EARTH FOCUS episode titled “Fast Fashion,” featuring textile artist Porfirio Gutierrez
as well as the Los Angeles Emmy® nominated documentary, ARTBOUND
“Blended Worlds: The Fusion of Art &amp; Science at JPL,” which showed how a passion to explore space informs art and vice versa. All of this content and more is available to stream on the free PBS app and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDG7_piIA5baWqIvtOQ-trA">PBS SoCal’s YouTube Channel</a>. 
“Our region is blessed to have so many wonderful arts institutions and we are so honored to highlight their work,” commented PBS SoCal Chief Content Officer Tamara Gould. “As Southern California’s convener for the arts, we are humbled by the sheer scale of creative collaboration, which will inspire the whole country through this film. This documentary showcases artists who are breaking new ground in exploring the unique intersection of art and science, which is a part of what makes Southern California such an iconic destination for arts and culture.”
"The documentary film ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE underscores that both art and science are ways of knowing, imagining and shaping the world,” commented Oscar®-nominated Director Jessica Kingdon. “Ultimately, the film points to the ways creativity, knowledge and empathy are not separate pursuits, but intertwined forces that reveal our interdependence in a shared, complex world.”
ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE will be available to stream on all station-branded PBS platforms, including <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KCxgLAQB3SDHiFVhujZz3TIvfrfF3fd_ivJzGb1RDuRyb8ephHp9SukO9C90rxEFkZS10VYTgoJxGR_VlY-AOionZ-DMCaLO6XmDh5kH8iHwS1wfOEChdvL7uFCOwkrVrKnK0PfOV_s=&amp;c=h4PXAX60jSwtL1WVaLI2Smvmt8jaFs1Y18lFHOjZrH6DWrRLcPCtQQ==&amp;ch=DywnyxcSIn3Hy5sflrfjvkK2Qg8asDKGWv9SYcUGcFCLSeqc4Bp6iw==">PBS.org</a> and the PBS app, available on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Samsung Smart TV, Chromecast and VIZIO.
Major funding for the documentary film ART &amp; SCIENCE COLLIDE was provided by John &amp; Louise Bryson. Additional funding was provided by the Frieda Berlinski Foundation, the California Community Foundation and PBS.

Gould and Angela Boisvert. The producer is Emmy Award-winning Serin Marshall, and the Academy Award-nominated director is Jessica Kingdon. Wendy Llinás
is the executive in charge for PBS.

New Documentary ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE Premieres Friday, October 17 on PBS

20241207 P St Night Market 088

Los Angeles, CA, April 10, 2025 –
PST ART: Art &amp; Science Collide, the region-wide collaboration initiated by Getty, has concluded after presenting hundreds of exhibitions, programs, and events throughout Southern California over the past six months. With the support of more than $20 million in grants from Getty and five years of research and planning, more than 70 cultural institutions, ranging from small community-based centers to the region’s largest museums, have participated in this unprecedented exploration of the intersections of art and science—past, present, and in the imaginable future. 
 
Nineteen of the exhibitions, including those at LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits, The Wende, and the Fowler Museum at UCLA, are continuing after the official conclusion of PST ART and will remain on view through various dates until April 2026. A list of continuing exhibitions can be found <a href="https://pst.art/en/exhibitions">HERE</a>. 
Art &amp; Science Collide
builds on the long history of exchange between art and science in Southern California, dating back to the earliest years at Caltech and the recognition that science flourishes when it is in dialogue with the arts and humanities. In the century since, the region has seen several scientific institutions, including the Natural History Museum and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, incorporate the arts into their programs. Both reflecting and expanding upon this history in its exhibitions, this latest edition of PST ART offered the public extraordinary new insights into topics ranging from the history of space exploration to sustainable agriculture, from ancient cosmologies to Indigenous sci-fi, and from biotechnology to environmental justice. 
“Many of the art movements strongly identified with Southern California are unimaginable without an intense engagement with science,” said Katherine E. Fleming, President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust. “Light and Space artists collaborated with everyone from physicists to brain scientists to create a totally new art form, while digital and media artists have engaged the tech and entertainment industries in transformative ways. PST ART succeeded once again in bringing together Southern California’s distinctive, perpetually innovative art scene, this time in conjunction with one of the most important scientific communities in the world.”
 
Like past PST ART collaborations, Art &amp; Science Collide has impacted the artistic canon, notably with the largest simultaneous concentration of deeply researched exhibitions devoted to Indigenous knowledge across time periods and cultures. In eight dedicated exhibitions, as well as featured sections in many other PST ART shows and high-profile programming such as the Autry’s Fashioning Indigenous Futurism runway show at Getty curated by Amber-Dawn Bear Robe, the collaboration facilitated conversations about the relationship of Indigenous knowledge to Western sciences. Presentations considered how together they might better address complex issues such as climate change; re-centered ancestral environmental knowledge; and highlighted the work of contemporary Indigenous artists in the vanguard of imagining alternative futures.
This latest collaboration also raised the profiles of up-and-coming artists, cast new light on established figures, saw scientific organizations producing art exhibitions for the first time, and produced new insights into the ever-evolving relationships between art and science.
 
"Having my work in a number of exhibitions provided an opportunity for me to rethink art and science at a time of multiple crises, from wildfires and climate change to technological acceleration and the continued legacies of colonialism,” said artist Sarah Rosalena, whose work was featured in six exhibitions. “The relationships built over the past five years with PST ART have been crucial to my thinking about collaborative approaches to knowledge-making. I’m thrilled to be able to build on these experiences with a solo exhibition at BLUM this May and a commission for the new LACMA building that will open in 2026.”
The tangible impact of PST ART’s network can also be seen in its Climate Impact Program, which was inaugurated with Art &amp; Science Collide and is set to be an ongoing part of PST ART. The program, funded by Getty and led by LHL Consulting, offers an opportunity at an unprecedented scale for institutions to unite in climate action—testing and studying sustainable exhibition practices and documenting the carbon impact of their exhibitions. 
This is the first time institutions in an entire region have worked collaboratively to rethink exhibition practices and their climate impact. Ninety-three percent of eligible institutions took advantage of one-on-one consulting with experts to help identify where they could reduce their carbon footprint, and seventy-two percent of eligible institutions completed Climate Impact Reports for their exhibitions. These reports delve into the environmental footprint of 53 individual exhibitions, resulting in the largest dataset to date for exhibition making. 
“With Getty’s commitment to continuing PST ART every five years, we conclude Art &amp; Science Collide with an eye toward 2030,” said Joan Weinstein, Director of the Getty Foundation. “The artistic and scholarly achievements that result from each edition of PST ART are profound and will endure far into the future. So, too, will the spirit of cooperation that PST ART fosters, which in January 2025 was indispensable in mobilizing the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. We have seen how powerful and resilient we can be when we work together.”

PST ART: ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE CONCLUDES SIX MONTHS OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS ABOUT THE INTERSECTIONS OF ART AND SCIENCE

CAI Press Release Sig Image 7/8/2024

CAI Press Release Image 2 7/8/2024

July 08, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) — Today Getty announced that PST ART (previously known as Pacific Standard Time) will begin on September 15, 2024, with a newly commissioned, arena-scale daytime fireworks event by Cai Guo-Qiang, the contemporary artist known for larger-than-life outdoor “explosion events.”



Titled WE ARE: Explosion Event for PST ART, the daytime fireworks—a signature form of Cai’s art that uses organic, sustainable pigments and dyes rather than traditional pyrotechnics—are conceived and choreographed by the artist in collaboration with his custom AI model cAI™ (pronounced AI Cai), engaging over one thousand aerial drones. Staged around, above, and inside the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in collaboration with Getty and the University of Southern California, WE ARE will mark the first expansive daytime firework event featuring drone formation equipped with pyrotechnic products in US history. The event inaugurates this edition of PST ART with a spectacular realization of the initiative’s latest theme, Art &amp; Science Collide, with elements of AI, data science, the cosmos, and technology all at play. Accompanying Cai’s explosion event at the Coliseum will be Cai Guo-Qiang: A Material Odyssey, an exhibition at the USC Pacific Asia Museum based on Getty's extensive scientific research into Cai's gunpowder art.










“Quite literally, WE ARE exemplifies Art &amp; Science Collide,” said Katherine E. Fleming, President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust. “Cai’s work is explosive, expressive, and unprecedented in scale. Lighting up the sky of Los Angeles, this performance will signal PST ART’s potential to reach audiences far and wide.”



To join in celebrating the start of PST ART, the public is invited to experience the monumental, multi-act performance, which will begin at dusk, when nearly ten thousand twinkling mini firework shells installed throughout the seating bowl will transform the Coliseum into a massive matrix of animated fireworks. Custom-developed daytime fireworks and choreographed drones carrying pyrotechnic products will shape the artist’s bursts of colorful explosions into a visual story full of mystery and wonder, igniting the sky with images that showcase AI's revelation of a “heavenly secret” through the reduction of its dimensionality, followed by those recalling the myth of Prometheus’s theft of fire from the gods and suggesting a present-day parallel in the relationship between humanity and AI.








WE ARE was developed by Cai in collaboration with his multi-modal AI model cAI™. Originating from the artist’s AI research starting in 2017, cAI™ deep-learns from Cai’s artworks, archives, and areas of interest. By emulating contemporary and historical figures Cai admires, cAI™ creates distinct personas that engage in dynamic debates, fostering an independent and free community. This time, cAI™ deeply participated in all creative stages of the development of this work, collaboratively exploring the nature of AI, conducting site visits, and undertaking materials research with the artist.





Cai Guo-Qiang expressed, “Today, as humanity grapples with the swift advancement of technologies epitomized by AI, culture and the arts appear particularly powerless. I hope WE ARE will stand as a grand gesture of the art world integrating the virtual with the real in the era of AI, and also as a powerful voice and decisive action in these turbulent times.”



The scale of the performance matches the vast scope of PST ART, which will take place over the course of five months throughout Southern California. Supported by more than $20 million in grants from Getty, dozens of cultural, scientific, and community organizations will present more than 70 deeply researched exhibitions alongside an extraordinary spectrum of public programs about Art &amp; Science Collide, exploring themes that range from biotechnology to sustainable agriculture, from ancient cosmologies to Indigenous sci-fi, and from artificial intelligence to environmental justice.






Cai Guo-Qiang’s performance and exhibition for PST ART are generously supported by Principal Partners Eva and Ming Hsieh, Co-Founders of Fulgent Genetics, Peggy and Andrew Cherng, Co-Chairs and Co-CEOs of Panda Express, and the Getty Patron Program. Major support is provided by Yan Luo, Ellen and Dominic Ng, Haiyan Ren, and Sophia and Anqiang Zhang. Eva Hsieh of the Hsieh Family Foundation and Fulgent Genetics says, “We have long been aware of Getty’s groundbreaking PST initiatives and their unparalleled impact. We are thrilled for an opportunity to help introduce a contemporary visionary like Cai Guo-Qiang to this awe-inspiring  collision of art and science. His extraordinary work uniting themes of technology, creative expression, and AI will ignite a perfect celebration for all of Los Angeles.”








Based on Getty's extensive research into Cai's gunpowder drawings and paintings since 2016, the exhibition Cai Guo-Qiang: A Material Odyssey will almost fill the entire USC Pacific Asia Museum, chronicling Cai Guo-Qiang’s lifelong engagement with pyrotechnics. The exhibition will display a vast selection of the artist’s work as well as scientific imagery to explore the nature of gunpowder, its influence on Cai’s work, and how Cai’s process has evolved over time. Programs accompanying A Material Odyssey will include videos illustrating the making of fireworks, the process of creating gunpowder paintings, interactive displays, and a variety of film screenings and conversations.







“Cai has embraced the use of gunpowder because he wanted to relinquish control over the creation process. No matter how precisely a gunpowder drawing is planned, the results are still unpredictable,” said Rachel Rivenc, lead curator and Head of Conservation and Preservation at Getty Research Institute. “With any artist it is important to understand their materials and process, and with Cai, the materials are so unusual and groundbreaking that getting to know them provides a whole new level of understanding of his work.”





“We are very excited to see Cai Guo-Qiang bring his technical and artistic wizardry to the Coliseum and we appreciate the collaboration with the Getty,” said USC President Carol Folt. “WE ARE fits like a glove with USC’s moonshots. It will help push the frontiers of AI and advanced computing even further—and break new ground in the arts with game-changing technology and science. All of this while feeding the innovative spirit that pulses through our community.”




A public day-long symposium on AI and the arts titled “Beyond the Human?: From the Metaphysical to the Physical” will be held at USC on September 16, 2024. The symposium, presented by USC Arts Now, organized by USC Vice Provost for the Arts Josh Kun and Cai GuoQiang (with additional curation by USC professor Holly Willis), will feature a global roster of distinguished thinkers, artists, filmmakers, performers, and technologists to ask fundamental questions about the metaphysical, the physical, and the category of the human itself, accompanied by robot chefs cooking on-site. The symposium is the first public event of USC Arts Now, the new flagship arts initiative launching this fall.






WE ARE is a free ticketed event, available for booking later this summer. For more details on how to reserve tickets, sign up for the <a href="https://pst.art/newsletter">PST ART mailing list.</a>

About Cai Guo-Qiang
Cai Guo-Qiang (b. 1957, Quanzhou, China) was trained in stage design at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in the early 1980s. From December 1986 to September 1995, he sojourned in Japan. Cai has resided and worked in New York since 1995. Cai has excelled in a broad range of creative mediums, from painting, installation, video art, and performance art, to new technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), NFTs, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI). Grounded in the conceptual foundations of Eastern philosophy and contemporary social issues, his often-site-specific artworks interpret and respond to the local culture and history, establishing a dialogue between viewers and the larger universe around them. His famed gunpowder paintings, explosion events, and installations are imbued with a force that transcends the two-dimensional plane to oscillate freely between society and nature. Over three decades, Cai has had numerous solo exhibitions in major art museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2006, and a retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2008, the latter of which broke the museum’s then-attendance record of a visual art exhibition.













In 2015, Cai realized the explosion event Sky Ladder in his hometown of Quanzhou. The eponymous documentary film, directed by Academy Award winner Kevin MacDonald, was released globally on Netflix. In recent years, Cai embarked on his Individual’s Journey Through Western Art History—a series of exhibitions held in world-renowned museums, including the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow (2017); Museo del Prado, Madrid (2017); Uffizi Galleries, Florence (2018); National Archaeological Museum of Naples and Pompeii Archaeological Park (2019). In December 2020, on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City, Cai presented Odyssey and Homecoming, becoming the first contemporary artist to have a solo exhibition at the Palace Museum in Beijing. The following year, Odyssey and Homecoming travelled to the new Jean Nouvel–designed Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai, as one of the opening exhibitions. Cai has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Golden Lion at the 1999 Venice Biennale, the Hiroshima Art Prize in 2007, and the 2009 Fukuoka Prize. In 2012, he was honored as a Laureate for the prestigious Praemium Imperiale in the painting category. The award recognizes lifetime achievement in the arts across categories not covered by the Nobel Prize. The same year, he was named as one of five artists to receive the first U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts for his outstanding commitment to international cultural exchange. His recent honors include the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Award in 2015, the 7th Isamu Noguchi Award in 2020,  the Rockefeller 3rd Award in 2022, and the 74th Art Encouragement Prize by Japan’s Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology in 2024. Cai also served as the Director of Visual Effects and Fireworks for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

Los Angeles, CA, April 23, 2024—Continuing Earth Day celebrations, Getty today announced the inauguration of a Climate Impact Program for the largest art event in the United States, PST ART (formerly known as Pacific Standard Time). Returning on September 15 with the theme of Art &amp; Science Collide, PST ART brings together more than 60 exhibiting institutions throughout Southern California, offering an opportunity at an unprecedented scale for institutions to build community, unite in climate action, and test and study sustainable exhibition practices while fostering collaboration on minimizing environmental impact within the museum field.






“The effects of climate change are increasingly part of our daily lives, and are all around us,” said Katherine E. Fleming, President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust. “Many of the exhibitions in Art &amp; Science Collide underscore the magnitude of the climate crisis and also the ways we can engage as change-makers. Indeed, the presenting institutions throughout Southern California will bethe proving ground behind the scenes for diverse, data-driven sustainability practices that have the potential to alter the arts and culture sector at large.”





Getty is making the PST ART Climate Impact Program available to all PST ART partners who are presenting exhibitions by offering webinars about local and global efforts to stage art exhibitions more sustainably; direct consulting with experts to help PST ART project teams identify where they can have the most impact; and guidance for organizations as they implement a wide variety of emissions-saving and waste-cutting initiatives. Additionally, the program encourages partner institutions to complete a Climate Impact Report for their PST ART exhibition. This report delves into the environmental footprint of the exhibition, offering a data-driven analysis of emissions from travel and shipping, waste from fabrication and construction, and worker and community engagement. Funded by Getty, the Climate Impact Program is led by LHL Consulting.








“As trusted institutions, museums have the power to support the health and resilience of their communities while showcasing creative climate leadership through thoughtful, responsible exhibition preparation and presentation,” said Laura Lupton, Founder and Principal of LHL Consulting. “PST ART provides a singular framework to help museums build climate fluency; measure, improve, and report their impacts; and work collaboratively to support a healthier, more sustainable region. Getty is creating a model of leadership and cross-sector support in Southern California that can be replicated across the country and around the world.”






In addition to offering trainings on the nuts and bolts of measuring and managing the climate impact of exhibitions, LHL Consulting is leading programming on how to build engagement around climate conscious institutional practices—including fostering buy-in among boards, executive leaders, and colleagues. Organizations participating in the Climate Impact Program have also been provided with opportunities for climate fluency training for their staff, individual consultations to set and meet project based goals, and data-backed recommendations to support meaningful change.



“There has been a growing desire for the art world to take ownership of its impact, and as a result we're seeing more willingness than ever to rethink systems and habits” said Kelsey Shell, Environmental &amp; Sustainability Strategist at MOCA. “The Climate Impact Program has helped bring more people into the conversation, connecting peer organizations around this work. I'm excited to see where this collaboration leads."




Alongside the Climate Impact Program, Getty is also supporting Gallery Climate Coalition to update its carbon calculator, a tool that allows institutions to measure, understand, and reduce carbon emissions related to key areas of impacts in the sector, such as shipping, travel, and materials. The tool will allow organizations to target their actions by measuring environmental impacts, ensuring they can most effectively cut emissions in line with reduction targets.




Under the umbrella of the Climate Impact Program, PST ART projects are:
• Piloting methods to reduce institutional energy use, such as 
o The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is piloting wider climate control parameters at the Geffen Contemporary for the run of Olafur Eliasson’s PST ART exhibition. This effort aims to reduce building energy use and is supported by the installation of a new Digital Energy Management System.




o The Hammer Museum is piloting the new international Bizot Green Guidelines, expanded climate condition standards for gallery temperature and humidity based on recent conservation research. Adoption of these updated protocols will significantly reduce the Hammer’s HVAC energy use, the largest component of its carbon footprint.



• Planning ahead to reduce impact, such as
o Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) took advantage of a consolidated ground shipment that came earlier this year for the Frieze LA art fair to transport works for its PST ART exhibition. Too often, special exhibitions have depended upon dedicated shipments for art works, a carbon intensive practice.



o The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) is prioritizing artist residencies, with new artworks created on site in Long Beach to reduce the need for object transportation.

• Thoughtfully approaching exhibition build practices, such as
o The Huntington is including sustainability criteria in its exhibition design, from sourcing green materials for the build to reusing casework and frames for display.

o Fulcrum Arts sourced climate responsible materials for their build out, including choices of plywood, insulation and acoustic dampening products. Getty will extend the reach of this work in 2025 by partnering with Gallery Climate Coalition to present a major conference in Los Angeles on the latest thinking in environmental responsibility for museums and the broader art community. This event will allow museums and galleries in Southern California to not only report on the outcomes of their climate actions for PST ART but also come together with leading experts to generate new ideas to tackle critical environmental issues. The summit will be a landmark event that unites the Southern Californian visual arts community, generating confidence, clarity, and most importantly accelerating urgent and effective climate action.








Exhibitions and Programs Addressing Climate Solutions
More than twenty institutions—nearly one-third of PST ART participants—will present exhibitions and programs for Art &amp; Science Collide centered on the climate crisis and its potential solutions. Tenets of ecofeminism and Indigenous knowledge, speculative insights from science fiction, and discoveries of contemporary science variously inform projects on agriculture and industrialization, forests and oceans, and humans and animals.

Getty inaugurates PST ART Climate Impact Program – A Groundbreaking Collaboration for Climate Action Within the Museum Field

Los Ángeles, CA, 23 de abril de 2024 — Hoy, como parte de las celebraciones del Día de la Tierra, el Getty anunció la inauguración de un Programa de Impacto Climático para el mayor evento de Estados Unidos, PST ART (conocido anteriormente como Pacific Standard Time). Bajo la temática de El arte y la ciencia colisionan, el PST ART regresa el 15 de septiembre para reunir a más de 60 instituciones expositoras en todo el sur de California, una oportunidad única para que las instituciones construyan comunidad, se unan en la acción climática, exploren y estudien prácticas sostenibles de exposición y, al mismo tiempo, fomenten la colaboración para reducir el impacto ambiental en el ámbito de los museos.
"Los efectos del cambio climático son cada vez más evidentes en nuestra vida cotidiana y están presentes en todo nuestro entorno", expresó Katherine E. Fleming, presidenta y directora ejecutiva del J. Paul Getty Trust. "Muchas de las exposiciones en El arte y la ciencia colisionan destacan la magnitud de la crisis climática y también las formas en las que podemos involucrarnos como agentes de cambio. De hecho, las instituciones que se presentan en todo el sur de California serán el campo de prueba tras bambalinas de diversas prácticas sostenibles basadas en datos que tienen el potencial de transformar el sector de las artes y la cultura en general".


El Getty ofrece el Programa de Impacto Climático del PST ART a todos los socios que presentan exposiciones. Esto se lleva a cabo a través de seminarios web que abordan los esfuerzos, tanto locales como globales, para hacer que las exposiciones de arte sean más sostenibles. Además, proporciona consultoría directa con personas expertas para ayudar a los equipos de proyectos del PST ART a identificar áreas donde puedan tener un impacto significativo. También brinda asesoramiento a medida que las organizaciones implementan una variedad de iniciativas para reducir las emisiones y los residuos. Asimismo, el programa alienta a las instituciones asociadas a completar un informe de impacto climático para su exposición en el PST ART. Este informe profundiza en la huella ambiental de la exposición, y ofrece un análisis basado en datos sobre las emisiones generadas por los viajes y los envíos, los residuos producidos durante la fabricación y la construcción, y el compromiso de la comunidad y las personas empleadas. El Programa de Impacto Climático está dirigido por la Consultora LHL y financiado por el Getty. 

"Los museos, como instituciones de confianza, tienen el poder de apoyar la salud y la resiliencia de sus comunidades, a la vez que muestran un liderazgo creativo mediante la preparación y la presentación de exposiciones responsables y bien pensadas", dijo Laura Lupton, fundadora y directora de la Consultora LHL. "El PST ART ofrece un marco singular para ayudar a los museos a desarrollar competencia climática; medir, mejorar e informar sobre sus impactos, y trabajar en colaboración para promover la salud y la sostenibilidad de la región". "El Getty está desarrollando un modelo de liderazgo y colaboración entre diferentes sectores en el sur de California, que puede ser utilizado en todo el país y a nivel global".
Además de ofrecer capacitación sobre los fundamentos de la medición y gestión del impacto climático en las exposiciones, la Consultora LHL está liderando iniciativas para impulsar la adopción de prácticas institucionales respetuosas con el clima, entre las cuales se incluye la participación activa de consejos directivos, líderes ejecutivos y colegas. Las organizaciones que participan en el Programa de Impacto Climático recibieron, además, capacitación en competencia climática para su personal, asesoramiento individual para establecer y alcanzar objetivos basados en proyectos y recomendaciones basadas en datos para impulsar un cambio significativo.
Kelsey Shell, especialista en medioambiente y sostenibilidad del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de California (MOCA, por sus siglas en inglés), afirmó: "Cada vez es mayor el deseo de que el mundo del arte se haga cargo de su impacto y, como resultado, nuestra disposición a replantearnos sistemas y hábitos está más fuerte que nunca. El Programa de Impacto Climático ha contribuido a que más personas se involucren en la temática y a que organizaciones afines se conecten con este trabajo. Estoy emocionada de ver hacia dónde nos lleva esta colaboración".
Además del Programa de Impacto Climático, el Getty está respaldando a la Coalición Climática de Galerías para mejorar la calculadora de huella de carbono. Esta herramienta ayuda a las instituciones a medir, comprender y reducir las emisiones de carbono asociadas con áreas clave de impacto en el sector, como envíos, viajes y materiales. La herramienta permitirá que las organizaciones puedan dirigir sus acciones midiendo el impacto ambiental, lo cual garantizará la reducción de emisiones de la manera más efectiva, de acuerdo con los objetivos de reducción establecidos.
Dentro del Programa de Impacto Climático, los proyectos del PST ART son los siguientes:
<ul><li>Métodos para poner a prueba y reducir el uso energético institucional, por ejemplo:<ul><li>El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de California (MOCA) está poniendo a prueba parámetros de control climático más amplios en el Geffen Contemporary para el tiempo que dure la exposición de Olafur Eliasson en el PST ART. Este esfuerzo tiene como objetivo reducir el consumo de energía del edificio y cuenta con el apoyo de la instalación de un nuevo sistema digital de gestión energética.</li><li>El Museo Hammer está poniendo a prueba las nuevas pautas verdes internacionales de Bizot, que se basan en investigaciones recientes sobre conservación y que establecen estándares más amplios para las condiciones climáticas de temperatura y humedad en las galerías. La adopción de estos protocolos actualizados reducirá de manera significativa el uso de energía del Sistema de Calefacción, Ventilación y Aire Acondicionado (HVAC, por sus siglas en inglés) en el Hammer, que es el componente más grande de su huella de carbono.</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li>Planificación con antelación para reducir el impacto, por ejemplo:<ul><li>Las Exposiciones Contemporáneas de Los Ángeles (LACE, por sus siglas en inglés) aprovecharon un envío terrestre consolidado a principios de este año con motivo de la feria de arte Frieze LA para transportar obras para su exposición en el PST ART. Con demasiada frecuencia, las exposiciones especiales han dependido de envíos exclusivos para transportar las obras de arte, lo que generaba una considerable huella de carbono.</li><li>El Museo de Arte Latinoamericano (MOLAA, por sus siglas en inglés) está dando prioridad a las residencias de artistas en Long Beach, donde se crean nuevas obras de arte, con el objetivo de evitar la necesidad de transportar objetos.</li></ul></li><li>Prácticas de montaje de exposiciones con un enfoque cuidadoso, por ejemplo:<ul><li>El Huntington está incorporando criterios de sostenibilidad en el diseño de sus exposiciones, desde la búsqueda de materiales ecológicos para la construcción hasta la reutilización de muebles y marcos.</li><li>Fulcrum Arts optó por utilizar materiales ecológicos en la construcción, como madera contrachapada, aislamiento y productos para el amortiguamiento acústico.</li></ul></li></ul>
El Getty ampliará el alcance de este trabajo en 2025, ya que se asociará con la Coalición Climática de Galerías, a fin de presentar una importante conferencia en Los Ángeles sobre las últimas tendencias en responsabilidad ambiental para los museos y la comunidad artística en general. Este evento permitirá a museos y galerías del sur de California no solo informar sobre los resultados de sus acciones climáticas en el PST ART, sino también reunirse con líderes expertos para desarrollar nuevas ideas destinadas a abordar problemas ambientales críticos. La cumbre será un evento histórico que reunirá a la comunidad de artes visuales del sur de California, y promoverá confianza, claridad y, sobre todo, impulsará acciones climáticas urgentes y eficaces.
Las exposiciones y los programas que abordan soluciones climáticas 

Más de veinte instituciones, lo que equivale a casi un tercio de las que participan en el PST ART, presentarán exposiciones y programas bajo la temática de El arte y la ciencia colisionan
y se enfocarán en la crisis climática y las posibles soluciones. Los fundamentos del ecofeminismo y la sabiduría indígena, junto con las especulaciones de la ciencia ficción y los descubrimientos de la ciencia contemporánea, tienen un impacto variado en proyectos que abordan la agricultura, la industrialización, los bosques, los océanos y las relaciones entre humanos y animales.

Getty inaugura el programa de impacto climático de PST ART, una colaboración innovadora que promueve la acción climática en el ámbito de los museos

Night Gallery Signature Image

VSF Signature Image

Los Angeles, CA, February 27, 2024 – Getty today announced that more than 40 art galleries in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California have joined the Participating Gallery Program of PST ART: Art &amp; Science Collide, the expansive collaborative event that will begin on September 15, 2024. In this third edition of PST ART—formerly known as Pacific Standard Time—dozens of museums, scientific institutions, and performing arts organizations will offer a multidisciplinary and multifaceted exploration of the intersections of art and science. Their exhibitions and programs, on view over the course of five months, will be amplified by the presentations of the galleries in this third iteration of PST ART’s Participating Gallery Program.

Participating galleries in Downtown Los Angeles, Culver City, Santa Monica, Hollywood, West Hollywood, and beyond will offer group and solo exhibitions, artist-curated projects, and installations featuring a diverse array of contemporary artists. Throughout the duration of Art &amp; Science Collide, a vibrant cross-section of rising and established galleries will present works that explore urgent topics ranging from climate change and environmental justice to the future of artificial intelligence and alternative medicine.


Katherine E. Fleming, President of the J. Paul Getty Trust, said, “Come September, we want to see the confluence of art and science explored in every corner of Southern California’s creative communities. The Participating Gallery Program is an essential element of this vision and an important part of PST ART’s constellation of offerings. Galleries are a vital part of the art and culture ecosystem across the region, and their shows will pose more questions, offer more hypotheses, and unearth more discoveries from some of the brightest and most thought-provoking artists working today.”

“PST ART is an initiative that is historically much overdue, and I could not be more thrilled to contribute to the conversation,” said Esther Kim Varet, founder of Los Angeles-based gallery Various Small Fires. “Our generation, faced with the existential threat of our planet’s sixth extinction, feels impelled to rethink and reframe our entire relationship to art. There has been no goal more ambitious than the Getty’s aim to rewrite art history through the pertinent topic of art and science.”

Exhibitions will include a reexamination of Jeffrey Deitch’s prescient 1992 exhibition Post Human; a presentation of Betye Saar’s monumental altar assemblage Mojotech (1987) at Roberts Projects; and, at Various Small Fires, an exhibition dedicated to Newton and Helen Mayer Harrison, whose work imagined possibilities for ecological repair. Solo artist exhibitions include Elise Rasmussen at Night Gallery and Torkwase Dyson at Pace Gallery, among many others.

A full program will be announced in the coming months.

MORE THAN 40 GALLERIES THROUGHOUT GREATER LOS ANGELES  JOIN THE PARTICIPATING GALLERY PROGRAM FOR  PST ART: ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE

Los Ángeles, CA, 27 de febrero de 2024 – Getty anunció hoy que más de 40 galerías de arte en Los Ángeles y en todo el sur de California se han unido al Programa de Galerías Participantes de PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan, el enorme evento colaborativo que comenzará el 15 de septiembre de 2024. En esta tercera edición de PST ART—anteriormente conocida como Pacific Standard Time— docenas de museos, instituciones científicas y organizaciones de artes escénicas ofrecerán una exploración multidisciplinaria y multifacética de las intersecciones entre el arte y la ciencia. Las exposiciones y los programas, disponibles durante un período de cinco meses, se complementarán con las presentaciones de las galerías en esta tercera edición del Programa de Galerías Participantes de PST ART.

Las galerías participantes en el centro de Los Ángeles, Culver City, Santa Mónica, Hollywood, West Hollywood y otras áreas ofrecerán exposiciones grupales e individuales, así como proyectos curados por artistas e instalaciones que presentarán a una amplia variedad de artistas contemporáneos. Durante todo el tiempo que se extienda El arte y la ciencia colisionan, una vibrante selección de galerías emergentes y establecidas presentarán obras que exploran temas urgentes, que van desde el cambio climático y la justicia ambiental hasta el futuro de la inteligencia artificial y la medicina alternativa.

Katherine E. Fleming, presidenta del J. Paul Getty Trust, expresó: "Para septiembre, queremos ver la confluencia del arte y la ciencia explorada en cada rincón de las comunidades creativas del sur de California. El Programa de Galerías Participantes es un elemento esencial de esta visión y una parte importante de la constelación de ofertas de PST ART. Las galerías son una parte vital del ecosistema artístico y cultural en toda la región, y sus exposiciones plantearán más preguntas, ofrecerán más hipótesis y descubrirán más hallazgos de algunos de los artistas más brillantes y provocadores que trabajan en la actualidad".

"PST ART es una iniciativa históricamente muy esperada, y no podría estar más emocionada de poder aportar a la conversación", dijo Esther Kim Varet, fundadora de la galería Various Small Fires con sede en Los Ángeles. "Nuestra generación, enfrentada a la amenaza existencial de la sexta extinción de nuestro planeta, se siente impulsada a repensar y reformular por completo nuestra relación con el arte. No ha habido un objetivo más ambicioso que el propósito del Getty de reescribir la historia del arte a través de un tema tan relevante como lo es el del arte y la ciencia".

Las exposiciones incluirán una reexaminación de la visionaria exposición de Jeffrey Deitch en 1992 Post Human (Poshumano); una presentación del monumental ensamblaje del altar de Betye Saar Mojotech (1987) (Mojotech [1987]) en Roberts Projects; y, en Various Small Fires, una exposición dedicada a Newton y Helen Mayer Harrison, cuyo trabajo imaginaba posibilidades para la reparación ecológica. Las exposiciones individuales de artistas incluyen a Elise Rasmussen en Night Gallery y a Torkwase Dyson en Pace Gallery, entre muchos otros.

Se anunciará un programa completo en los próximos meses.

El sur de California se convertirá en un importante destino turístico en el otoño de 2024 cuando Getty lance PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan, el proyecto de arte más grande en Estados Unidos.

LA Phil Signature Image

Los Ángeles, 31 de octubre de 2023 — Hoy, Getty anunció que la próxima edición de la colaboración PST ART a nivel regional (anteriormente conocida como Pacific Standard Time) incorporará una sorprendente variedad de programas públicos en todo el sur de California, que abarcarán desde encargos de artes escénicas vanguardistas hasta lanzamientos de cohetes, pasando por proyectos artísticos participativos y debates centrados en la acción hasta un festival gratuito de arte y ciencia al aire libre para la familia, todo esto alrededor de la temática de El arte y la ciencia colisionan.
Desde septiembre de 2024 y durante cinco meses, PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan ofrecerá más de 60 exposiciones, las cuales requirieron mucha investigación y fueron desarrolladas por organizaciones artísticas e instituciones científicas de todo el sur de California, con la participación de más de 800 artistas que amplían sus horizontes mediante la exploración de temas que van desde las cosmologías antiguas hasta la ciencia ficción indígena, y desde la inteligencia artificial hasta la justicia medioambiental. Los nuevos programas públicos organizados por organizaciones asociadas, grupos comunitarios y el propio Getty harán que El arte y la ciencia colisionan no solo sea el proyecto de arte más grande en los Estados Unidos, sino también un modelo innovador para la programación pública a una escala sin precedentes.
Katherine E. Fleming, presidenta y directora ejecutiva del J. Paul Getty Trust, expresó: "Como una colisión productiva que hace girar los objetos en nuevas direcciones, los programas que anunciamos hoy guiarán a las audiencias en dirección a nuevas ideas y encuentros reveladores. Nos enorgullece que Getty esté intensificando las ya excepcionales ambiciones de El arte y la ciencia colisionan, ya que permite que nuestros socios presenten estos programas llenos de vida, participativos y diversos que comenzarán en menos de un año".
Como parte de su importante difusión pública, Getty se unirá a la organización internacionalmente conocida como Edinburgh Science en noviembre de 2024 para presentar un festival familiar gratuito de tres días, el PST ART x Science Family Festival. Con talleres prácticos y participativos, demostraciones itinerantes, un completo programa de espectáculos y un ambiente festivo con música y comida, el festival al aire libre acercará la temática del evento El arte y la ciencia colisionan a niños y niñas de 4 a 14 años y sus familias.
El Dr. Simon Gage, miembro de la Orden del Imperio Británico (OBE, por sus siglas en inglés), presidente y director ejecutivo de Edinburgh Science, expresó: "Es especialmente emocionante para una organización escocesa sumergirse en la intensa creatividad de las comunidades artísticas, científicas y tecnológicas del área metropolitana de Los Ángeles. Estamos encantados de colaborar con Getty y los excepcionales socios del PST ART en la realización del Art x Science Family Festival. Nos une la pasión por organizar eventos interactivos excepcionales y emocionantes que sorprenden y fomentan el aprendizaje y el descubrimiento".
Las nuevas subvenciones anunciadas hoy, que incrementan el apoyo de Getty para El arte y la ciencia colisionan a $19 millones, financiarán docenas de programas públicos atractivos en todo el sur de California organizados por: CaltechLive; Clockshop; Crenshaw Dairy Mart; la Biblioteca, el Museo de Arte y el Jardín botánico Huntington (The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens); la organización L.A. Dance Project; el Laboratorio de arte y tecnología del LACMA; la Filarmónica de Los Ángeles; el Centro de Música (Music Center); el Nuevo Museo de los Niños (New Children’s Museum); el Teatro CalArts Roy y Edna Disney (REDCAT, por sus siglas en inglés); el Centro Cultural Skirball (Skirball Cultural Center), y la Universidad del Sur de California.

Entre los programas participativos estará la presentación de The Gift (El regalo) por parte del Music Center, una reflexión sobre la astrofísica en la que una plaza al aire libre se convertirá en una íntima "sala de lectura" llena de música. Los participantes encontrarán un libro ilustrado basado en la investigación de la Dra. Natalie Gosnell, profesora asociada de Física en el Colorado College. Gosnell comentó sobre la colaboración, y afirmó: "La astrofísica es verdaderamente una disciplina narrativa, donde utilizamos pistas recopiladas de telescopios para comprender mejor los objetos en el cielo. Con The Gift (El regalo), mis cocreadores y yo contamos una historia inspirada en mi investigación en astrofísica de una manera que resulta atractiva, acogedora y que entrelaza temas de dolor, pérdida y renovación. Estamos encantados de participar en PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan y de traer The Gift (El regalo) a Los Ángeles".
Tres organizaciones se han unido a Getty como centros comunitarios para El arte y la ciencia colisionan: la Plaza de Cultura y Artes, LA Commons y el Museo de Arte e Historia de Lancaster (Lancaster Museum of Art and History). Para llevar la iniciativa a las comunidades locales, los Centros involucrarán a organizaciones de base popular cercanas, agencias públicas, educadores de las áreas de Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería, Artes y Matemáticas (STEAM, por sus siglas en inglés) y jóvenes creativos para desarrollar y presentar sus propios programas sobre los temas alrededor de El arte y la ciencia colisionan. Se ofrecerán desde talleres de arte hasta proyectos de restauración de hábitats.
Además, se llevarán a cabo otros programas innovadores que ampliarán la difusión en varios lugares, desde San Diego hasta el noreste de Los Ángeles, durante los Fines de Semana de PST ART en el marco de El arte y la ciencia colisionan. Estos eventos respaldados por Getty convertirán a PST ART en un "festival de festivales", que reunirá a instituciones vecinas. Cada fin de semana servirá como un imán para la audiencia, que podrá recorrer las exposiciones, socializar y disfrutar de las presentaciones culminantes programadas por los socios de PST ART para las horas de la noche.
Los programas que inauguran los Fines de Semana de PST ART incluirán una velada en la serie Quantum Vibrations (Vibraciones cuánticas), curada por Josh Kun, profesor en Annenberg School y vicerrector de las Artes en la Universidad del Sur de California (USC, por sus siglas en inglés). "Es un honor volver a trabajar con Getty en el PST ART", dijo Kun. "Mi serie explora la intersección entre el arte y la ciencia a través del trabajo de artistas que reflexionan sobre la música en contextos científicos y la utilizan para plantear problemas científicos sobre cualquier tema, desde la creación de mundos especulativos hasta los creadores no humanos de música y los enfoques cuánticos de la escucha. Me entusiasma especialmente que estos encuentros se lleven a cabo en barrios de toda la ciudad".

Como en ediciones anteriores del PST ART, las galerías en todo Los Ángeles y el sur de California designadas como afiliadas presentarán docenas de exposiciones organizadas de forma independiente sobre el tema de la iniciativa.Tal como se anunció anteriormente, Getty también ha establecido una asociación con Frieze, que refuerza la presencia de El arte y la ciencia colisionan a nivel internacional.
Aspectos destacados de la programación de socios
A partir de septiembre de 2024, el público estará invitado a participar en numerosos eventos y programas públicos organizados por los socios del PST ART, tales como:
Despegando con El arte y la ciencia colisionan
· El Laboratorio de arte y tecnología del LACMA producirá The Monophobic Response (La respuesta monofóbica), de American Artist. La performance hará referencia a las ideas de las novelas Parable (Parábola) de la autora de ciencia ficción Octavia E. Butler para reimaginar una prueba del motor de un cohete que llevó a cabo el precursor del Laboratorio de Propulsión a Chorro de la NASA en el cañón Arroyo Seco en 1936.
· El Museo Wende (The Wende Museum), un museo de arte, centro cultural y archivo de la Guerra Fría, que participa como socio en la exposición El arte y la ciencia colisionan, también ayudará a que la colaboración "despegue" poniendo en órbita una réplica del Sputnik, el primer satélite artificial de la Tierra, el 4 de octubre de 2024, en el 67.º aniversario del lanzamiento que realizó la Unión Soviética. Este ambicioso proyecto performativo sobre la cultura de la ciencia está siendo diseñado y ejecutado por los participantes de la Iniciativa Espacial para Estudiantes de la Universidad de Stanford, bajo el auspicio de Wende y PST ART. Al igual que el propio Sputnik, el satélite de los estudiantes enviará datos de vuelta a la Tierra, e incluirá, en este caso, noticias sobre El arte y la ciencia colisionan.
Traer la ciencia a escena y el arte al observatorio
· Las bases biológicas de la empatía serán la premisa del proyecto Resonance (Resonancia) de L.A. Dance Project, que presenta obras de danza encargadas a destacados coreógrafos contemporáneos en colaboración con investigadores científicos. Cada presentación de Resonance (Resonancia) estará seguida por un debate guiado con la audiencia sobre la empatía y un llamado a la acción en colaboración con una organización comunitaria.

· El Centro de Música (Music Center) presentará el proyecto The Gift (El Regalo), el cual toma ideas complejas de la astrofísica y las traduce en una narración conmovedora y accesible para personas de todas las edades. En este proyecto, una plaza al aire libre se convertirá en íntimas "salas de lectura" que, además, contarán con una partitura musical e intervenciones digitales. The Gift también se montará en el histórico Observatorio del Monte Wilson con vista a Pasadena.
· La práctica de la grabación de campo —hacer grabaciones de audio fuera del estudio a partir de fuentes tan variadas como sonidos submarinos, vibraciones electromagnéticas o la actividad de los insectos— será el tema central del festival de nueva música Noon to Midnight (Desde el mediodía hasta la medianoche) de la Filarmónica de Los Ángeles, que dará vida a cada parte del campus del Walt Disney Concert Hall con instalaciones sonoras y actuaciones en vivo. El evento contará con compositores, intérpretes y grupos, tanto conocidos como emergentes, y culminará con una obra creada por un importante artista multidisciplinario en colaboración con la Filarmónica y el Coro Maestro de Los Ángeles.
Fines de Semana de PST ART desde Montecito Heights hasta South Broadway
· Los Fines de Semana de PST ART comenzarán en octubre de 2024 con una presentación en vivo en Debs Park de Black Quantum Futurism, cofundada por Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) y Rasheedah Phillips, artistas que están a la vanguardia del futurismo musical negro y la creación de mundos sonoros. Su presentación es parte de Quantum Vibrations (Vibraciones cuánticas), una serie de cuatro partes de presentaciones curadas por Josh Kun, profesor y presidente de Comunicación Intercultural en la Annenberg School de la USC.
· Los Fines de semana de PST ART llegarán a su fin en diciembre de 2024 con Live Night: Cruising Bodies, Spirits, and Machines (Noche en vivo: cuerpos, espíritus y máquinas navegantes), una noche de celebración en el icónico teatro con capacidad para 1,600 personas en el Ace Hotel, copresentada por REDCAT y el centro para las Artes Escénicas de la UCLA (Center for the Art of Performance). Con una variedad de presentaciones experimentales, Live Night (Noche en vivo) se inspira en la exhibición de REDCAT en El arte y la ciencia colisionan, que reimagina la inteligencia artificial desde las perspectivas de indígenas, personas negras y el género no binario.

Alimentación, agua y activismo de base
· Crenshaw Dairy Mart organizará una temporada de talleres, conversaciones y eventos comunitarios en torno a sus cápsulas abolicionistas, jardines que funcionan con energía solar y se riegan de forma autónoma en cúpulas geodésicas, diseñados por la organización artística sin fines de lucro con sede en Inglewood para abastecer a comunidades de todo el condado de Los Ángeles que se ven afectadas por la inseguridad alimentaria, la falta de vivienda y la presencia del complejo industrial penitenciario.
· Clockshop involucrará a comunidades a lo largo del río Los Ángeles en el noreste con talleres de arte, restauración ecológica y experiencias en la naturaleza lideradas por artistas. El objetivo es fomentar la comprensión de las interacciones entre los humanos y el agua en sus propios entornos, desde estacionamientos hasta humedales.
Reuniendo a jóvenes para enfrentar el cambio climático
· El Centro Cultural Skirball (Skirball Cultural Center) presentará un programa en el que participarán jóvenes activistas climáticos, poetas y artistas que aportan un enfoque transversal a la lucha contra los devastadores efectos del cambio climático.
· La Biblioteca Huntington, el Museo de Arte y el Jardín Botánico (The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens) serán la sede de una gran cumbre de la juventud sobre sustentabilidad y cambio climático. La cumbre, que reunirá hasta 300 estudiantes de secundaria, se centrará en soluciones impulsadas por jóvenes para la crisis climática.
Podrán encontrar una lista completa de los programas ofrecidos por las doce organizaciones asociadas financiadas por subvenciones y los tres centros comunitarios aquí. Habrá más información sobre los programas cuando se acerque la fecha de inauguración de PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan.

Getty anuncia una programación pública sin precedentes en toda la región y aumenta el impacto de docenas de exposiciones en todo el sur de California para PST ART: El arte y la ciencia colisionan

Hammer Museum: ikkibawiKrrr

Seoul, Korea (August 14, 2023) — Today, Frieze revealed details of a new global partnership with Getty, the Los Angeles-based cultural and philanthropic institution, that will be launched in September 2023 at Frieze Seoul and will culminate in September 2024 with the opening of PST ART. Together, the two organisations will collaborate on a series of commissions and events that will amplify the upcoming edition of PST ART: Art &amp; Science Collide, delivering content, programming and experiences across Seoul, London and Los Angeles.





A Getty initiative, PST ART (formerly Pacific Standard Time) brings together museums and institutions across Southern California for one of the most expansive art events in the world. For the 2024 edition, Getty has provided grants to more than 45 organizations, supporting research and planning on a wide variety of exhibitions that will prompt civic dialogue around some of the most urgent issues of our time. Opening September 2024, PST ART: Art &amp; Science Collide will feature more than 818 artists in more than 50 coordinated exhibitions, with project topics ranging from climate change, environmental justice and Indigenous knowledge to artificial intelligence, past and future cosmologies and the frontiers of bioengineering. Ahead of the 2024 edition of PST ART, Frieze and Getty will work together on a year of activity to raise awareness of the global initiative in key international art centres. Launching at Frieze Seoul 2023 with acommission by Korean visual research collective ikkibawiKrrr, the collaboration will then move to Frieze London, with the debut of a new work by Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist Candice Lin, before culminating with the opening of PST ART in September 2024. The partnership reflects Frieze and Getty’s shared commitment to championing Southern California’s diverse ecosystem of artists and institutions by providing a platform for international audiences to engage with the region’s rich cultural landscape.














ikkibawiKrrr TO STAGE A PERFORMANCE AT FRIEZE SEOUL
At Frieze Seoul, taking place September 6 to 9 at COEX, Korean collective ikkibawiKrrr will present a new video and interactive performance exploring the marine ecosystem and environmental sustainability that centers on the haenyeo: a community of female divers on Jeju Island who harvest seaweed and seafood for a living. The work takes as its starting point a saying that exists among the haenyeo community — ‘diving is with companion’ — signifying togetherness with each other and with the sea, including its marine creatures and mythical stories. In the creation of the video work, ikkibawiKrrr worked closely with the haenyeo, who are an indelible part of the island’s identity Presented alongside ikkibawiKrrr’s video installation will be an interactive performance titled Flavors of the Sea (2023) that will take place daily at the fair. Both the video and interactive performance expand on ikkibawiKrr’s work Seaweed Story (2022), which will be featured in the PST ART exhibition Breath(e): Towards Climate and Social Justice at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles in 2024.










CANDICE LIN TO PRESENT A NEW COMMISSION AT FRIEZE LONDON
At Frieze London, taking place October 11 to 15 at The Regent’s Park, Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist Candice Lin will present a new work, employing her use of traditional indigo-dying techniques, demonstrated in works such as Seeping, Rotting, Resting, Weeping (2021), and continuing her research into the impact of scientific taxonomies. The commission will take the form of large-scale indigo-dyed kites, drawing on Asian kite-making traditions, which will be displayed at the fair and activated by performers in the Regent’s Park. Lin’s research on the practice of castration in human culture as in animal husbandry and companionship, will be echoed by the negative spaces created by the central holes distinctive of traditional Korean fighter kites’ design. The kites’ surface decoration will feature mythological and animal imagery while referencing 19th century representations of eunuchs at the imperial Chinese court. Rethinking these histories from an inter-species perspective, Lin’s use of kites as a medium —the first time the artist has done so— also engages the long enmeshment of art and science, reminiscent of historical explorations of aerial devices. A public kite workshop co-taught with Yaeun Choi will invite visitors to create and fly their own kites.












FURTHER INFORMATION
The second edition of Frieze Seoul returns to COEX from September 6 to 9, 2023. Steered by Patrick Lee (Director, Frieze Seoul), the fair will feature over 120 leading international galleries, with a strong core of Asia-based exhibitors and a particular emphasis on those with spaces in Korea. Frieze Seoul will run alongside Kiaf SEOUL, operated by the Galleries Association of Korea, together the two fairs will work to celebrate the depth and range of the city’s creative communities. Frieze London and Frieze Masters will take place concurrently from October 11 to 15 in The Regent’s Park.
