Robert Irwin and Lawrence Weschler @ Getty, 12/14
Very related to our CTIN 511 discussions on "technologies of perception":
"Released in the early '80s, Lawrence Weschler's Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees offered deep insight into the work of California-bred light-and-space guru Robert Irwin. Weschler's seminal work was recently expanded, incorporating Irwin's more recent projects — the design for New York's Dia:Beacon and the Getty's Central Gardens. In this afternoon talk at the Getty, the old friends once again chew the fat, discussing perception and the observer's role in art. After the talk, stroll through Irwin's "living art" piece, and take in the view."– Jane McCarthy
