- Paintings conservators at the Getty Center reveal details of their craft as they restore two large paintings by French master Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
- The French painter Edouard Manet painted four canvases depicting the execution in 1867 of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. This short dramatic film evokes the artist's studio and the events of Maximilian's death, using a single, uninterrupted shot to present the artistic thought process through the eyes of the painter. The narration, written by the film's director, takes the form of an imagined interior monologue, presented in voice-over style in French and German with English subtitles. It alludes to the narrative, historical and visual texts that Manet drew upon to form his four versions of the painting.
- A Japanese concept of space/time, called "Ma" (or the interconnectiveness of space and time), is realized through the zen garden of Ryoan-Ji.
- Take a dynamic ride through Getty's collections, laboratories, gardens, and more with Becoming Artsy, a new series from Getty. Host Jessie Hendricks brings viewers along while she explores the world of art.
- Welcome back to "Project Runway." Five contestants remain: Althea, Carol, Christopher, Gordana and Irina. Althea tells the camera that Irina accused her of "copying." Naturally, they're not speaking. "I'm very competitive and I'm very outspoken," Irina says. Christopher, in the meantime, is the only one left in the boys' room -- a situation he finds "odd." But no more time for introspection now -- time to head to see Heidi! "Allo!" Heidi squeaks. "For your last challenge here, we're sending you to an iconic place that's rich in culture." So the designers head to the J. Paul Getty Museum. Tim greets the final five at the "heart of Los Angeles culture." "Use the Getty center as the source of inspiration for the design of your choice," he says. The designers can explore the gardens, the architecture or the museum's many exhibits. "Everything you look at is just unbelievable," cutie Carol tells the camera. The designers then start roaming the grounds and sketching. Carol is inspired by an ornate bed. Christopher adores a fountain with algae. Irina and Gordana fall in love with paintings. Althea is struck by the building itself. One shopping trip to Mood later, the five return to the work room. "This is the challenge that will determine who among you will be going to New York fashion week," Tim says. No pressure! Some of the contestants are already sniping at each other. "The atmosphere in the work room is kind of awkward for me," says Althea, who feels like the odd woman out. Irina compares Althea to "King Kong." King Kong is from Dayton? Tim then enters to do some mentoring. He checks out Christopher's angular outfit that is supposedly inspired by the rock fountain. "You don't want it to be a head-scratching response," says Tim, urging the designer to keep a close "editing eye" on the creation. Carol's design, meanwhile, is going for a "very ornate texture." Tim warns her to not "lose the sophistication." Next up is Irina, whose fur-lined dress looks a lot like "road kill," according to Tim. Ouch. Althea's architecture-inspired look, in the meantime, is perplexing to Tim. "I find it to be troublesome," he says. "This needs work." Finally, Gordana becomes emotional over her painting-inspired outfit. "I wanted to create something I'm in love with," she says. Tim is impressed. One quick model fitting later, the designers REALLY get to work (as evidenced by the quick editing and suddenly frantic music). "This one has to be amazing," Christopher tells the camera. Carol, meanwhile, is really "nervous." "You can not predict how the judges are going to react," she says. Althea is feeling "overwhelmed." The next morning, the models return for final fittings, hair styling and accessorizing. The contestants then bad mouth each other for a bit before it's time to head back to the runway. "Allo!" Heidi squeaks. "As you know in fashion, one day you're in and the next day you're out." She then introduces the judges: Cynthia Rowley, Nina Garcia and Cindy Crawford. "Three of you will make it to New York Fashion Week and two of you will be out," Heidi says. The runway show begins! Not surprisingly, the contestants are THRILLED with their creations. Gordana, in particular, is overjoyed to have created a look on a "spiritual level." Judgment time. First up on the chopping block is Althea, who explains she was inspired by the parallel lines of the Getty museum. Cynthia appreciates the inspiration, but thinks the dress is overworked while the top appears rushed. "It's a bit of a mess fest," Heidi observes. "I feel like you bit off so much more than you could chew." Irina's draped dress is called "old lady" by Nina. Cindy, in the meantime, hates the shoes. Next is Gordana, who nearly begins crying in describing her "angelic" creation. Nina likes the dress, but wonders whether Gordana will ever take a "chance." Carol's elegant gold dress with a shoulder tassel also gets accused of being "safe" by Nina, who has apparently found her go-to critique. Finally, Christopher's dress with a hint of green (the algae) is a bit heavy on the bottom, according to Cindy and Cynthia. "This piece speaks more about me than any other piece I've put down the runway," Christopher says through tears. He gets a sympathetic hug from his model. Each contestant is then asked which other two designers should head to Fashion Week with them. Gordana chooses Christopher and Irina. Althea chooses Carol and Irina. Carol opts for Christopher and Althea. Irina picks Althea and Gordana. Christopher names Irina and Carol. "I think all of you have given us a lot to think about today," Heidi says. One judges confab later, she brings the designers back out. Irina is ... in. Christopher is ... out. He weeps, (are you shocked?) Carol is ... in. Althea is ... in, which means Gordana is out. "I have put myself out there," she says. "If it is time for me to go, then so be it." She weeps.
