The show’s curator, Bernhard Zuenkeler, selected eight artists to produce their own renderings, pencil drawings and paintings fused onto fabric that came from downtown L.A.'s Garment District. There’s a pair of Nike Cortez sneakers like the ones Tom Hanks (as Gump) wore, Carter’s “Jurassic Park” crew badge, and a touching note from director Steven Spielberg after production wrapped on “Munich.” Carter’s portrait paintings of friends are suspended from the ceiling on white cubes.īut ESMoA (formerly El Segundo Museum of Art) devotes more exhibit space to other artists’ interpretations of characters and themes from his movies. White spotlights around the gallery showcase Carter’s sketches and personal keepsakes. Carter earned Oscars for the latter two for production design. “Experience 51: Time,” which opened in May and runs through March 25, traverses the production designer’s four decades in Hollywood and his pivotal role creating the vivid worlds depicted in “Back to the Future,” “Jurassic Park,” “Forrest Gump,” “Avatar” and “Lincoln,” among others. The weathered wooden structure now is part of an exhibition at El Segundo’s art laboratory, ESMoA, that celebrates Carter’s Academy Award-winning career - as well as the power of movie imagery.
“It has been in my backyard since 1994,” Carter said, “personalized through my experiences of being part of the group that made ‘Forrest Gump’ and by all the conversations with friends that I’ve had on it since.” A full-size replica of the iconic “Forrest Gump” prop was given by producers to key creatives, including Carter, who was the film’s production designer.
On a recent afternoon, artist Rick Carter sat on a park bench finishing a chocolate from a box of See’s Candies.
