Ela Boyd creates immersive installations that fragment and decentralize our understanding of space, time, and the self in reference to the subjective qualities of perception. Her installations have been on view at various spaces including the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego alongside the Pacific Standard Time exhibition Phenomenal. By choreographing the viewer’s experience, the installations involve the viewer in the space, reordering their understanding of common phenomena that are easily overlooked.

Hydrodynamica is a Pacific Standard Time exhibition cataloguing a progressive history in surfboard design and its influence on California culture in other fields such as sculpture and design. Curated by Richard Kenvin, a long time San Diego surfer for over forty years, the show focuses primarily on shapes by Bob Simmons and Carl Ekstrom, and also features shapes from the likes of Nicholas Mirandon, George Greenough, Steve Lis, and Skip Fry just to name a few.

If you haven't already, we strongly encourage you explore the wide array of Pacific Standard Time exhibitions put on by the Getty. The exhibition at the Getty Center itself is one packed with iconic artworks, including one of our favorites, Standard Station by Ed Ruscha that reduces the pictorial elements of a "standard" roadside architecture into the geometric elements of design.

As part of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time collaborative group of exhibitions, the Armory Center for the Arts is showing Speaking in Tongues, which reveals Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken's works in conversation.

Despite how you feel about Jason Schwartzman, here is a great commercial that reaches out to the non-art crowd, hoping to widen the audience that takes interest in the Pacific Standard Time exhibitions coordinated by the Getty.

Part of the large group of exhibitions in California's Pacific Standard Time is Under the Big Black Sun: California Art 1974-1981 at MOCA's Geffen Contemporary location. The show exhibits a variety of work from nearly 125 artists, including Ed Ruscha, Raymond Pettibon, Bruce Nauman, Rupert Garcia, among many others.
