Solange directs Getty Center performance to be "extension of Richard Meier's architecture"



Musician Solange has sent us behind-the-scenes photos of the performance she directed at the Richard Meier-designed Getty Center in Los Angeles. In this interview she tells Dezeen why she's targeted major art museums with her music.
The Grammy Award-winning musician teamed with performance-art company Gerard & Kelly to produce Bridge-s at the Getty Museum campus, which was completed by Pritzker Prize-architect Richard Meier in 1997.

The performance is one of a series Solange has produced at architectural landmarks, including New York's Guggenheim, London's Tate Modern and Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie.
Solange said the Getty Center spectacle earlier this month, which comprised an interpretative dance choreographed to a musical score, was intended to take cues from the building's architecture, and add to the viewer's experience of it. "The most important thing for me as a director was to create expansiveness in the performance within the architecture; to lean into it as much as possible," Solange told Dezeen.

"Gerard & Kelly's work within geometric forms feels very much an extension of Richard Meier's architecture," she continued.
"The idea of interrupting these sort of bleak and rigid responses to modernism and minimalism, into something soulful, intimate and communal, is what I tried to achieve with these arrangements, and what the architecture of The Getty achieves so powerfully."
