Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020 is an expansive public exhibition that weaves together the history of science with historical and contemporary art as part of Getty's Pacific Standard Time (PST ART), Art & Science Collide.
Jane Brucker was selected by curator Claudia Bohn-Spector to create a site-specific installation inspired by objects Brucker selected from the Caltech Archives & Special Collections. For the small historic library of Gates Annex, built in 1927, Brucker created six softly lit installations that sit within the library’s bookshelves. Above the library’s entrance doors, Brucker’s Time Poem plays her poetry via an LED screen reminiscent of a small clock tower. Her installation creates a dialogue with Caltech’s collection of rare, illustrated books in physics and astronomy, including first edition works by Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. Time Stream is augmented by photographs, pulp science fiction books, and the works of other contemporary artists.
