Art California Video

  • California_video_large

As video art's growing reach now extends from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera to commuters watching YouTube on their iPhones, the Getty Center weighs in with its most modern, ambitious survey to date. California Video gathers together top-tier videos made on the West Coast in the last five decades by iconic artists like John Baldessari, Skip Arnold, Diana Thater, Chris Burden, Bill Viola (the subject of an early retrospective at the Center), and Bruce Nauman (who represents the US at this year's Venice Biennial). Along with the exhibition's star power, a stunning, industrial-style installation design and an extensive series of special screenings and talks promise an entertaining, thought-provoking experience.
