Pomona College Musuem of Art
It Happened at Pomona: Art at the Edge of Los Angeles, 1969-1973 “It Happened at Pomona” consists of a series of three exhibitions over nine months, featuring 29 artists, exploring cutting edge contemporary practices during an especially fertile period in the art world in Southern California. From 1969 to 1973, the Pomona College Museum of Art presented some of the most experimental exhibitions of contemporary art curated by Hal Glicksman and Helene Winer. The display of groundbreaking works by artists who bridged the gap between Post-Minimalism and Conceptual Art, such as Michael Asher, Tom Eatherton, and Allen Ruppersberg, formed the educational backdrop for a generation of artists who spent their formative years in Los Angeles, like Pomona alumni Chris Burden, James Turrell, and Mowry Baden. “It Happened at Pomona” includes three exhibitions, all anchored by a mixed-media timeline, public events, and a publication chronicling the activities of artists, scholars, students, and faculty associated with the College during this period.
The Pasadena Art Alliance is supporting the preparation,
design, and production of a multi-element timeline. The timeline
graphically represents the vitality of contemporary art in Southern
California and is an integral element of the project. The time
line incorporates all of the artists represented in the exhibition
and the context in which they generated their work. It will be
installed in the Museum throughout the three exhibitions (from
August 30, 2011-May 13, 2012), as well as included in the scholarly
catalogue.
