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.
