Getty Exhibitions: Modeling Sound and Sculpting Harmony
To celebrate Walt Disney Concert Hall’s twentieth anniversary, Getty presents Modeling Sound and Sculpting Harmony—two exhibitions developed in collaboration with Frank Gehry and the LA Phil.
On view at Walt Disney Concert Hall from October 5 to 29, Modeling Sound showcases six architectural models of the concert hall at various stages of its design to highlight the critical role of modeling in Gehry’s architectural practice.
Sculpting Harmony, a digital exhibition, features more than 150 models, sketches, and archival photographs documenting the concert hall’s development. New research, interviews, and innovative 3D media capture reveal the multidisciplinary process behind the building’s design. Using a digital platform to create an accessible exhibition, Sculpting Harmony (gehry.getty.edu) is an example of how to create a visual narrative with a vast amount of information and different media from archival documentation. Drawn from the extensive Frank O. Gehry Papers at Getty, Modeling Sound and Sculpting Harmony celebrate the realization of this important Los Angeles landmark.
Sculpting Harmony is produced by the Getty Research Institute and Getty Digital.
It is a collaboration among Maristella Casciato, Serena Parr Cline, Gary Riichirō Fox, Linda Han, Emily Pugh, Todd Swanson, and Ian Webb.
