GETTY CENTER FELLOWSHIP
The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities is
dedicated to advanced research in the history of art. Their scholars
‘reexamine the meaning of art and artifacts within past and
present cultures and reassess their importance within the full scope of the humanities and social sciences.’ To represent the notion of reassessment, Méndez chose a piece from the Getty’s collection by Fluxus artist George Brecht that states This sentence is weightless in negative letter forms cut from aluminum sheets.
Photographers: John Kiffe (photography), Jobe Benjamin (printing).
This poster has won several awards, published widely and in in the permanent collection at the SFMOMA, National Design Museum and AIGA Archives.
