The Getty announced on Tuesday that it has increased its grant investment for organizations to conduct research and develop programming for the next iteration of the art extravaganza, Pacific Standard Time: It now stands at $17 million. As it adds participants and awards programming grants this fall, the Getty expects that figure to swell upward to $19-20 million. It also announced a commitment to presenting Pacific Standard Time every five years and is tweaking the initiative’s name to “PST Art.” The next iteration is titled: “PST Art: Art & Science Collide.”
When the art initiative kicks off, expect to see a model on view at the Southern California Institute of Architecture of a futuristic, sustainable, “hyperdense” city built to house the planet’s entire population of 8 billion people.
Also prepare for interplanetary exploration. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory will present artworks at Brand Library & Art Center that ponder how a new understanding of the cosmos could shape relationships between humans and robots.
