Yvonne Rainer: Dances and Films
Closing October 12, 2014 | The Getty Center
Artist, filmmaker, and choreographer Yvonne Rainer first came to prominence for work that denied the theatricality of modern dance and came across as detached, cerebral, and spare. Over the last five decades, her voice has shifted to become more personal, political, and provocative. This exhibition showcases Rainer's range and includes a complete retrospective of her films.
Experts lead gallery tours Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. through October 9.
Find out more about the exhibition.
