California Video Fifty-eight past and present Californians are included in the Getty’s big survey of more than 50 single-channel videos and 15 installation works, all made in the four decades since Sony introduced the first portable video recording device in 1967. A categorical aesthetic prejudice against entertainment in New York critical circles collided with West Coast video art. Easterners often regard local art as righteously avant-garde, while discounting California (especially Los Angeles) art as kitsch. Made in the vicinity of Hollywood, entertaining video art actually set a radically new standard. The Getty show happily gets it. Getty Center, 1200 Getty Center Drive, L.A. 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; ends June 8. Free. (310) 440-7300.
