Getty continues its online-accessible series of exhibits and art exploration. Explore the range of online events, podcasts, and articles.
What happens when an exhibition fumbles?
“Brave, experimental, inventive, uncompromising. And I yawned all the way through it.” New Yorker critic Peter Schjeldahl on 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering
9 Evenings may have been a confusing snooze-fest, but our podcast about it isn’t!
Check out the episode that just won two Communicator Awards to learn more about the event and Robert Rauschenberg’s role in it.
Then listen to the rest of the series (awarded for Excellence in Series, History & Biography) to hear how artists and engineers came together to push the boundaries of both fields.
The beauty of rare books
There’s something magical about wandering through the aisles of a used bookstore.
What They Saw: Historical Photobooks by Women 1843–1999 is a very similar vibe. You still have a couple more days to come to the Getty Center and discover cool stories like Yokosuka sutori (Yokosuka story), which captures a photographer's return to her childhood home, “a place that I thought I’d never go back to.”
“This isn’t a nude.”
“This guy is naked—and naked is different.”
The men in Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men (on view through May 25) aren’t just captivating—they’re significant.
Read on for key insights into Caillebotte’s work
The kids are gonna love this
Can an art museum function as an open-ended playground?
“Absolutely,” says Kidspace CEO Lisa Clements.
Wired for Wonder, an exhibition at Kidspace created in collaboration with Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide, has a tasting bar and a smell-o-phone— and a lot of it was inspired by Clements’s time in education at the Getty Center.
