In Focus: Jane and Louise Wilson's Sealander
February 14–July 2, 2017 | The Getty Center
Working
collaboratively since 1989, twin sisters Jane and Louise Wilson create
powerful, compelling photographs, videos, and installations that explore
historical events and architectural spaces that resonate with power.
Their Sealander series presents
images of abandoned World War II bunkers along the Normandy coastline of
northern France. The monumental scale and monochromatic palette of the
photographs merge time and space, past and present, man-made structure
and natural environment, land and sea.

The Legacy of Ancient Palmyra
February 8–May 30, 2017
War
in Syria has irrevocably changed the ancient city of Palmyra, famed as a
meeting place of civilizations since the mid-2nd to 3rd century CE. The
Romans and Parthians knew Palmyra as a wealthy oasis metropolis, a
center of culture and trade on the edge of their empires. For centuries,
traveling artists and explorers have documented the site in former
states of preservation. This online exhibition captures the site as it
was photographed for the first time by Louis Vignes in 1864 and
illustrated in the 18th century by the architect Louis-François Cassas.

his mastery of different media.

Breaking News: Turning the Lens on Mass Media
Through April 30, 2017 | The Getty Center
Over
the past 50 years, artists have increasingly turned to newspapers,
magazines, and televised news programs as rich sources of inspiration.
This exhibition explores how artists have looked at and commented on
news images. Much of the work is political; all of it is personal.
Through photographs and videos, these artists have juxtaposed, mimicked,
and appropriated media elements to transform ephemeral news into
lasting works of art.

FILM

Memorias del Subdesarrollo(Memories of Underdevelopment)
Tuesday, February 28, 7:00 p.m. | The Getty Center
This
film is a reflection on post-revolutionary Cuba expressed through the
meanderings of a well-to-do intellectual. Using Fidel Castro's new
regime as its backdrop, it portrays a skeptical observer who struggles
with a past he rejects and a present that seems bleak. The film
interweaves found footage of historical events such as the Cuban Missile
Crisis in an experimental format that shifts between fiction and
documentary. (1968, 35 mm film, 97 mins., Spanish with English
subtitles). A discussion with Cuban actress Daisy Granados, editor
Nelson Rodríguez, and the Getty Research Institute's Rani Singh follows.

Palmyra and Aleppo: Syria's Cultural Heritage in Conflict
Wednesday, February 8, 3:00 p.m. | The Getty Center
The
devastating conflict in Syria has resulted in catastrophic loss of life
and the largest refugee migration since World War II. Contributing to
this horrific crisis, the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) has seized
large areas of Syria and Iraq, including heritage sites—most notably the
ancient city of Palmyra. The battle for Aleppo has effectively leveled
one of the oldest and architecturally rich cities in the world. The
Getty Research Institute brings together a panel of specialists to
discuss the unfolding consequences of war on historic sites and
monuments throughout the region. Free; advance ticket required.

Secrets of a European Neuroarthistory: From the "Photographic" Art of the Chauvet Cave to the Mysterious Appeal of the Mona Lisa
Tuesday, February 21, 7:00 p.m. | The Getty Center
In
this talk, John Onians, Professor Emeritus of World Art at the
University of East Anglia, Norwich, presents neuroarthistory, an
approach to art that makes use of the latest neuroscientific knowledge.
New knowledge of the principles governing neural formation suggest that
exceptional artistic quality may often be the product of intense
looking. To understand the emergence of an exceptional work of art in
the last 30,000 years, we can begin by reconstructing what the artist
may have been looking at and why. Free; advance ticket required.
