Richard Jackson

Internationally renowned installation performance artist Richard Jackson provided one of the more spectacular moments from the performance series sponsored by the Getty s Pacific Standard Time initiative. Re- enacting a piece from the 1970s, Jackson crashed a radio-controlled, 15 foot wingspan model airplane filled with paint into a 20 foot high wall emblazoned with the phrase accidents in abstract painting. Featuring dramatic photo images of the accident, the six hour set up, and the subsequent installation of its detritus at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, this unique exhibition catalog is an artifact of the event and its aftermath. Also included are a lengthy interview with Jackson and a QR code that links to further video documentation.
