How the Music Connects to the Galleries and Artwork
The mix is designed to complement the flow of the galleries and the themes explored in the artworks. While the David Geffen Galleries do not have a single designated entrance, the music has been structured with the understanding that many visitors may enter from the north side of Wilshire into the wing overlooking Tony Smith’s outdoor sculpture, Smoke, which serves as a visual point of reference.
From there, the mix unfolds as a natural, unhurried journey through the space, intended to accompany a moderate walk lasting approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. The suggested path begins in the Pacific Ocean galleries, followed by the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, and concludes in the Atlantic Ocean galleries.
Visitors are, of course, free to explore the galleries in whatever way feels most natural to them, with the music offering a flexible guide rather than a fixed route.
