Form and Landscape is part of Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A., a collaboration between several Los Angeles-area museums. Pacific Standard Time (PST) began in 2002 as a Getty initiative, and eventually involved over 60 cultural heritage institutions who put on a series of exhibitions and events in 2011 - 2012. Both the Index tab and the Exhibitions tab lead to a set of images that represent the sections of the exhibition: Archive, Consumption, Fabrication, Domesticity, and so on. However, starting from Index leads to a page of thumbnails, so to see the full display begin at Exhibitions. Collisions is primarily car crashes, dating from 1915 to 1960. Foodscapes provides a look at institutional and domestic kitchens and of course lots of L.A. diners complete with neon signs, such as Pokey's Restaurant at Beverly & Santa Monica Blvd., 1955; a 1954 McDonald's; and Clifton's Cafeteria in 1965. Stay tuned for 2017 when PST returns, with Pacific Standard Time LA/LA, Latin American and Latino art in Los Angeles.
