The Standard

The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time has finally released the long-awaited Ice Cube celebration of the work of Charles and Ray Eames and we have to say, it was worth the wait! Check it out as Ice Cube waxes poetic on the genius of Eames architecture and design, the arts, and his ever present love for Los Angeles.

Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945 – 1980 is a collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together for six months beginning in October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the Los Angeles art scene and how it became a major new force in the art world. Each institution will make its own contribution to this grand-scale story of artistic innovation and social change, told through a multitude of simultaneous exhibitions and programs. Exploring and celebrating the significance of the crucial post-World War II years through the tumultuous period of the 1960s and 70s, Pacific Standard Time encompasses developments from L.A. Pop to post-minimalism; from modernist architecture and design to multi-media installations; from the films of the African American L.A. Rebellion to the feminist activities of the Woman’s Building; from ceramics to Chicano performance art; and from Japanese American design to the pioneering work of artists’ collectives. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty.
