Support Art x Science Innovation in 2025

How would you like to support?

Fulcrum Arts facilitates groundbreaking collaborations between artists and scientists, and we are proud to share this work with audiences throughout Greater Los Angeles. 2024 has been a tremendous year of accomplishments for us!

This fall we presented Energy Fields: Vibrations of the Pacific in partnership with Chapman University as part of the Getty initiative PST Art: Art & Science Collide. Our most ambitious project to date, Energy Fields consists of an exhibition, a publication, and a performance program featuring over a dozen artists from across the Pacific Rim and Oceania. The exhibition includes a reconstruction of ear(th), a major sculptural work by the late artist Steve Roden, and Telepathy, an artist-built anechoic chamber by David Haines and Joyce Hinterding.

With the 2024 Fulcrum Festival: Waves Upon Waves, we forged new partnerships with MOCA and CAP UCLA in presenting the North American premiere of Soundless by Ellen Fullman and Theresa Wong, and sold-out performances by William Basinski and Bethan Kellough.

Additionally, we completed the first design phase of our Pasadena exhibition and event space with Orbihedron, an immersive installation by Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand. Conceived during their 2016 Fulcrum Incubator residency at Caltech, Orbihedron explores how hydrodynamics can be used to understand and visualize the behaviors of one of our universe’s most enigmatic phenomena: the black hole.

With your help, we will complete the second phase of construction in 2025: the Fulcrum “Transformer,” a concept developed by artist and architect Güvenç Özel, which reimagines what an interdisciplinary space can be. Among the Transformer’s unique features is a modular wall with rotating capabilities that can accommodate experimental programming, lectures, public forums, community meetings, and screenings. The space will also feature a large-scale video system and a four-channel Meyer Sound PA.

Your involvement in this major project is integral. Please join our community and help us build a dynamic hub for gathering, listening, and learning. Together we will experience beauty and true wonder.
