Plugged In: Art and Electric Light

  • Thursday, Oct 3rd, 2024 to Monday, Feb 17th, 2025

Plugged In: Art and Electric Light runs concurrently with the Getty-led initiative PST Art: Art & Science Collide. The exhibition illuminates the themes of new technology, mass media, and industrial material through 11 works produced between 1964 and 1970, all drawn from the Norton Simon Museum's collections.

Artists collaborated with clockmakers, neon and glass benders and electrical engineers from Pasadena's own Jet Propulsion Laboratory to explore the aesthetic, conceptual and affective possibilities of electric light.

Plugged In features a range of light sources and sounds. Review the Museum's Sensory Map of what you can expect in the exhibition.
