Highlights FROM OPENING WEEK CELEBRATIONS
"We've been working on this show for nearly three years, and distilling down the big questions of humanity into 160 questions about our collective pursuit of knowledge was such a juicy thing for Ken and I to think about. The questions were then placed, traced, and burned into this salvaged eucalyptus tree using pyrography.
The opening week celebrations were a whirlwind of hard work realized by sharing it with over a thousand people."
The LA Times included Ancient Wisdom exhibition in their list of selects to see out of 70 exhibitions in Getty's PST Art: Art & Science Collide landmark Los Angeles initiative.
It was thrilling at Getty's opening celebration when they featured questions from our Tree of Knowledge sculpture as part of the projection on the walls of the Getty.
Here are some highlight moments from the opening celebrations...
Tiffany Shlain, Ken Goldberg and Diane Von Furstenberg, Kristen Bell
We loved experiencing Diane Von Furstenberg's reaction to the work...DVF is such a trailblazer in every way and also has an exhibition at the Skirball that we highly recommend checking out along with On the National Language. We loved having Kristen Bell, Kimberly and Albert Brooks, and so many friends. Also in photos are our great curators Selma Holo, Vicki Phung Smith, Sheri Bernstein, Jessie Kronberg, and my gallerist who came in from NYC Nancy Hoffman and Ken's gallerist from SF Catharine Clark, Mehdi Douarek. It was also great to show it to Nadya Tolokonnikova from Pussy Riot.
