Gabriel Ritter
Curatorial Assistant, MOCA The Museum of Contemporary Art
His interest in art and technology is exemplified by his curation of
"Out of the Ordinary: New Video from Japan" concurrently screening at
the Getty Center and MOCA. This collaboration between the Getty
Research Institute and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles,
combines a survey of the early history of video art in Japan
(1968-1988) with presentations of contemporary Japanese video art. Two
programs at the Getty Center highlight a broad range of short videos,
and four programs at the MOCA's Silverscreen Theater at the Pacific
Design Center focus on individual artists and larger themes within
this rich and varied history. As part of this collaboration between
MOCA and the Getty, each venue will present portions of both programs
for a total of six nights.
