More than 40 galleries with spaces throughout Los Angeles are following the lead of the region’s non-profits and will participate in this year’s edition of PST Art, the J. Paul Getty Trust’s recurring programme of exhibitions, events and scholarship. The initiative, whose third edition launches on 15 September and looks at the intersections of art and science, will feature related shows at many of the city’s foremost galleries, including LA Louver, Jeffrey Deitch, Commonwealth and Council, David Kordansky Gallery, Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, Móran Móran and more.

“Galleries are a vital part of the art and culture ecosystem across the region, and their shows will pose more questions, offer more hypotheses and unearth more discoveries from some of the brightest and most thought-provoking artists working today,” Katherine E. Fleming, the president of the J. Paul Getty Trust, said in a statement.

While the entire lineup of gallery exhibitions that will be part of the PST Art programme has yet to be revealed, shows that are in store include Betye Saar exhibiting her large-scale, cyberpunk altar installation Mojotech (1987) at Roberts Projects, the dealer Jeffrey Deitch revisiting his major 1992-93 travelling exhibition Post Human and an exhibition dedicated to the environmental artists Newton and Helen Mayer Harrison at Various Small Fires.

“Our generation, faced with the existential threat of our planet’s sixth extinction, feels impelled to rethink and reframe our entire relationship to art,” Esther Kim Varet, a cofounder of Various Small Fires, said in a statement. “There has been no goal more ambitious than the Getty’s aim to rewrite art history through the pertinent topic of art and science.”

PST Art’s previous edition in 2017-18, which focused on connections between Los Angeles and Latin America, similarly featured robust gallery participation, with more than 70 local galleries planning related programmes and shows.
