Event Description As part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time: Art and Science Collide, the San Diego Public Library’s Visual Arts Program presents Helen and Newton Harrison: California Work, a retrospective exhibition about the work of husband-and-wife team Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison, who were among the earliest and most notable ecological artists. Founding members of the Visual Arts Department at UC San Diego, Helen and Newton were local San Diego artists for nearly four decades, where they developed their pioneering concepts of Ecological Art. Helen and Newton Harrison: California Work is the first exhibition to focus on their California work, including nearly 20 projects produced between the late 1960s and 2000s. Presented as a multi-site exhibition in four locations around San Diego simultaneously, the exhibitions will examine the California works produced including: Urban Ecologies, The Prophetic Works, Saving the West, and Future Gardens.
