  • April–July 2018 Exhibitions
    APRIL–JULY 2018 EXHIBITIONS YVE LARIS COHEN: MEETING GROUND ON VIEW 4/19/18 THROUGH 9/2/18 The work of transgender artist Yve Laris Cohen moves between the worlds of visual art and dance, situated within genealogies that include Minimalist sculpture, Institutional Critique, postmodern dance, and classical ballet. His work often considers the architecture and latent histories of theatrical spaces, through installations and performances that highlight states of transition. For Laris Cohen’s exhibition—his first solo museum presentation on the West Coast—the artist takes as his starting point MCASD La Jolla’s current expansion, a construction endeavor involving the conversion of Sherwood Auditorium into gallery space. On the occasion of Sherwood’s disappearance, Laris Cohen has engaged in an excavation of the history of the auditorium and, in turn, of the Museum itself. His installation will transpose architectural and archival elements of Sherwood to the Museum’s downtown building, effectively extending the life of the former civic space. There is a striking symmetry in this gesture: just as Sherwood Auditorium is transformed into a gallery, the artist transforms a gallery into Sherwood Auditorium. Laris Cohen sees architecture as not only a formal construction but also a social and political one. Indeed, the project considers not just material artifacts of the building, but also the labor that supported the auditorium’s programs and maintenance. As part of the exhibition, a former Sherwood events technician, Michael Scheer, has been contracted to assist with a weekly event taking place inside the installation. As a caretaker of Sherwood for over two decades, Scheer is now responsible for guarding archival materials from 1971, which marked a turning point in Sherwood’s history.

  • CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVES the Gci Newsletter
    CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVES THE GCI NEWSLETTER SPRING 2020 CONSERVATION SCIENCE A Note from As this issue of Conservation Perspectives was being prepared, the world confronted the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, threatening the health and well-being of people across the globe. In mid-March, offices at the Getty the Director closed, as did businesses and institutions throughout California a few days later. Getty Conservation Institute staff began working from home, continuing—to the degree possible—to connect and engage with our conservation colleagues, without whose efforts we could not accomplish our own work. As we endeavor to carry on, all of us at the GCI hope that you, your family, and your friends, are healthy and well. What is abundantly clear as humanity navigates its way through this extraordinary and universal challenge is our critical reliance on science to guide us. Science seeks to provide the evidence upon which we can, collectively, make decisions on how best to protect ourselves. Science is essential. This, of course, is true in efforts to conserve and protect cultural heritage. For us at the GCI, the integration of art and science is embedded in our institutional DNA. From our earliest days, scientific research in the service of conservation has been a substantial component of our work, which has included improving under- standing of how heritage was created and how it has altered over time, as well as developing effective conservation strategies to preserve it for the future. For over three decades, GCI scientists have sought to harness advances in science and technology Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI Anna Flavin, Photo: to further our ability to preserve cultural heritage.
