KPST was conceived as an expanding, dynamic resource for artworks and ideas that shape California’s fertile contemporary art landscape: an archive of unique curated programs, artworks, commissions, interviews and related documents. To honor California-native John Cage’s centenary and liberating influence, KPST’s thematic performance program, RE:COMPOSITION, considered how current compositional practices and tools enable artists from all disciplines to re-conceive or reconstitute aspects of their art production. Featured artists included: JD Beltran with Marc Barrite, Sandro Đukić, Joan Jeanrenaud with Paul de Jong, and Joan Retallack with Michael Ives. KPST was featured in the Getty Center’s initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945 – 1980, and Performance and Public Art Festival.
