Even if you are driving yourself, or coming from LA, you have to submit this form. If you need a ride on one of the two UCSB vans, then talk to your TA (this is a two-way ride to LA and back to SB.

Parking is $15.00 per vehicle if you are not carpooling.

Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings November 16, 2018–February 10, 2019, GETTY CENTER
Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings, which is the inspiration for the Art 1A Research Paper 2, will be on view during our trip to the Getty Center. Please make every effort to go on this Getty Center field trip because this exhibition is very important, and it closes on February 10.
According to The Getty Center,
The first major travelling survey of the artist’s career, this exhibition explores how Sally Mann’s relationship with the American South has shaped her work. Experimental, elegiac, and hauntingly beautiful photographs—many never before shown—reveal how she probes themes of family, mortality, and the landscape as a repository of personal and collective memory. Asking powerful questions about history, identity, race, and religion, the exhibition demonstrates how the legacy of the South continues to permeate American identity.
