Getty celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Getty's photographs collection
Special Exhibition Photographers of Genius at the Getty
March 16-July 25, 2004
Photographers of Genius at the Getty celebrates the 20th anniversary
of the Getty's photographs collection with a showcase of
work from groundbreaking visionaries who profoundly influenced their
contemporaries and succeeding generations of artists.
The exhibition focuses on 38 major photographers whose work is held
in depth by the Getty, among them Julia Margaret Cameron, Carleton Watkins,
Eugne Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, Walker Evans, and Diane Arbus. The photographs
date from the earliest years of the new medium in Europe to images of
America in the 1960s. Many of the individual photographs are icons,
widely reproduced in art and photography, while others have exerted
a more subtle influence. The exhibition, drawn entirely from one of
the Getty's newest but richest collections, shows how art moves continuously
forward as new photographers push pre-existing visual ideas to a new
level of expression, thereby revealing the tremendous impact of photography
on the evolution of art.

International
Museum Day 2004 - "Museums and Intangible Heritage"
On 18 May 2004, museums all over the world will be celebrating
International Museum Day. The theme for 2004 is "Museums
and Intangible Heritage".
For the museum profession, the issue of intangible heritage is one of
the most important areas to be explored in the years ahead. The museum
has traditionally been a space in which material evidence of the past
is collected, conserved and displayed. The practices, ideas, knowledge
and skills associated with these physical objects have received less attention.
Yet intangible representations are undoubtedly an essential part of any
civilisation. read

"Between
Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China"
June 11 to September 5, 2004.
Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China, the first
comprehensive look at the innovative photo and video art produced since
the mid-1990s in China, will be presented jointly at the International
Center of Photography and the Asia Society and Museum from June 11 to
September 5, 2004.
Featuring 130 works by 60 Chinese artists, many of whom will be exhibiting
for the first time in the United States, the exhibition reflects the enthusiastic
adoption of media-based art by younger Chinese artists. Their works, often
ambitious in scale and experimental in nature, reflect a range of highly
individual responses to the unprecedented changes now taking place in
Chinas economy, society and culture. In addition to introducing a remarkable
body of work to American audiences, the exhibition will also provide insights
into the dynamics of Chinese culture at the start of the 21st century.
Organized by ICP and the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago,
and presented in association with Asia Society, New York, and the Museum
of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Between Past and Future: New Photography
and Video from China is curated by Wu Hung, professor of Chinese Art History
at the University of Chicago and consulting curator at the Smart Museum,
and ICP curator Christopher Phillips
