Portland native's art featured

“Hole in Space,” a 1980 art installation created by Portland native Kit Galloway and his longtime partner Sherrie Rabinowitz, is among the featured artworks in a $10 million art initiative by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles called “Pacific Standard Time.”
“Pacific Standard Time” was launched Oct. 1 and focuses on the emergence of Los Angeles art from 1945 to 1980. It includes more than 60 exhibitions by museums and commercial galleries as well as a performance festival.
In 1980, Galloway and Rabinowitz set up two two-way video screens, one in Century City, Calif., and one at Lincoln Center in New York. Using satellite technology to connect the two screens, they did not publicize the project but waited to see who would discover these real-time portals into another city.
At “Pacific Standard Time,” visitors will stand between two huge screens showing the reactions to “Hole in Space” over three days between crowds in New York and California.
Galloway and Rabinowitz were named Guggenheim Fellows for their work in cutting edge art and technology in 1999. They were the founders of Electronic Café International, an early laboratory for telecollaborative arts and sciences.
They reside in Santa Monica, Calif.
