NOW EXHIBITING – El Segundo Museum of Art
Experience 51: TIME, a project by artist and production designer Rick Carter, is an immersive collage that contemplates the concept of time. The exhibition features paintings, drawings, and collages by Carter along with photographs, movie memorabilia, and additional works by eight other artists who were invited to participate.
TIME envelops visitors in floor-to-ceiling layered imagery that extends 25 feet high and includes portraits by Carter hung from above on thirteen, four-sided displays; preliminary sketches and collages from his many production designs; and props and memorabilia including a park bench from which Forrest Gump narrated his life story.
ON DISPLAY UNTIL March 25, 2023
Carter, a longtime painter, is a two-time Academy Award®-winning production designer acclaimed for his work with directors including Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, and J.J. Abrams. Often he has envisioned designs that convey notions of time itself, including for the blockbuster films A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Amistad, Avatar, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, Lincoln, and Star Wars.
Featured as well in our TIME exhibition are pieces inspired by our visit to the Getty Research Institute with David Brafman. As curator of rare books for The Getty, David was able to show our TIME artist collective books that express aspects of time—whether through their content or format.
