A few short audio clips were also conducted for inclusion in a2011-2012 exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Crosscurrents in L.A.: Painting and Sculpture, 1950-1970. The clips wereintended for public visitors to enjoy while they viewed corresponding works in the exhibition.Materials in the third series comprise audio and videos produced by Tremolo Productions, which was commissioned by theGetty Research Institue to visually capture the exhibitions at PST partner institutions across Southern California andconduct interviews of their curators, institutional leaders, and exhibiting artists.ArrangementRecords are organized into three series: Series I. Getty Foundation funded Pacific Standard Time oral histories, 2008-2012;Series II. Getty produced Pacific Standard Time audio recordings, 2011; and Series III. Audiovisual documentation of PacificStandard Time partner institution exhibitions, 2008-2012.Administrative HistoryThe Getty Research Institute (GRI) is an operating program of the J. Paul Getty Trust, a not-for-profit educational, culturaland philanthropic organization dedicated to the visual arts. Originally established in 1983 as the Getty Center for theHistory of Art and the Humanities (GCHAH), the objective of the GCHAH was to foster advanced research in art, its history,diversity, and meaning in culture by engaging scholars from various disciplines in the humanities. In 1996, in order to avoidconfusion with the soon-to-open Getty Center campus in Brentwood, the GCHAH was renamed the Getty Research Institutefor the History of Art and the Humanities and in 2000, the program's name was shortened to the Getty Research Institute(GRI).The GRI's mission is to further knowledge and advance understanding of the visual arts and their various histories throughadvanced research and scholarship, and through its activities and resources, provide a unique environment for research,critical inquiry, and scholarly exchange. The GRI's Research Library, consisting of over one million books, periodicals, studyphotographs, auction catalogs and special collections of rare and unique materials, as well as online resources anddatabases, serve an international community of scholars and the interested public. The GRI also provides intellectualleadership through its research projects, exhibitions, and publication programs and provides service to a wide range ofscholars worldwide through residencies, fellowships, hosted lectures and symposia, and its innovative digital referencetools. Through all of its programs and activities, the GRI endeavors to provide resources, expertise, and a collaborativeenvironment for art-historical research and publication.Through the GRI's multidisciplinary programming, first from the department of Contemporary Programs and Research andlater, its successor, the Department of Architecture and Contemporary Art (DACA), the GRI worked to advance art historyscholarship of contemporary art, including sound art, audiovisual documentation of personal art, experimental music, anddance as well as a focus on the birth of video as an artistic medium around the world.The Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 project is rooted in a Getty Research Institute DACA initiative calledModern Art in Los Angeles that began in 2002 with the goal to recover the historical record of art in Southern California.Around 2009, the J. Paul Getty Trust recognized the potential of Modern Art in Los Angeles to expand beyond the GettyResearch Institute, and in 2011, created an initiative branded and trademarked as Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A.1945-1980.Fueled by a series of Getty grants, the Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 initiative grew into a region-widecollaboration between more than 60 cultural institutions, culminating in a series of exhibitions and events from October2011 to April 2012 across Southern California called Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980. In addition to exhibitionsand events, over 40 publications documenting Los Angeles' impact on art history during the postwar years were createdand dozens of traveling and related exhibitions were held all over the world, resulting in unprecedented international pressattention focused on the history of art in Los Angeles.
