"California Video" Opens at the Getty on March 15

A few months back we were invited to a splendid lunch at that 10-year-old white castle in the sky where we learned of, among other things, the first major survey of video art produced in California. The lunch was at the Getty, of course, and the show is called “California Video,” which opens on March 15. The exhibition spans 1968 until the present, and includes 58 artists, duos, and collectives like John Baldessari, Chris Burden, Jim Campbell, Meg Cranston, Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Jennifer Steinkamp and Bill Viola, to name a few.
