College Night at the Getty Center 2006

Date: Thursday, October 19, 2006
Time: 7:00–10:00 p.m.
Location: Getty Center, Museum Courtyard
Admission: Free for college students; reservations required.

Take a break from studying and come to the Getty Center for a free evening of art and music!

Catch gallery presentations by painter Ed Moses on Gerhard Richter, whose paintings are featured in From Caspar David Friedrich to Gerhard Richter: German Paintings from Dresden. Tour the exhibition Public Faces/Private Spaces: Recent Acquisitions with photographs curator Virginia Heckert, and enjoy celebrity/artist interviews, live music, a cash bar, light hors d'oeuvres, a surprise celebrity appearance, and more.

Who's Playing
Make way for Iceland's hippest new export, producer, book author, film director, journalist, composer, radio personality, TV host, fashion designer—and electronica-pop-rock musician—Bardi Johannsson.

Johannsson and his band, Bang Gang, blend instrumentation and electronics into surrealistic, atmospheric melodies that have set the mood for The OC and other hip-angsty dramas. A self-described "Icelandic Philip Glass mixed with Jarvis Cocker and Brian Wilson," Johnannsson juxtaposes a pop sensibility with an avant-garde compositional style to create the perfect back-to-school groove.
