Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer\, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation\, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental\, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time\, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings\, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990\, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished. \nIn 1992\, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor\, University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994\, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden\, located at the north end of the UCLA campus. \nHenry Hopkins\, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art\, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions\, scholarly historical exhibitions\, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2\,000 artworks. In addition\, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building\, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction\, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects\, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national\, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors\, artists\, and creative thinkers of our time. \n \n\nHours\nThe museum is open every day\, except Mondays\, July 4\, Thanksgiving\, Christmas\, and New Year’s Day. \nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. \nAdmission to all exhibitions and public programs is free and open to the public.

Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer\, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation\, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental\, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time\, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings\, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990\, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished. \nIn 1992\, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor\, University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994\, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden\, located at the north end of the UCLA campus. \nHenry Hopkins\, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art\, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions\, scholarly historical exhibitions\, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2\,000 artworks. In addition\, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building\, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction\, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects\, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national\, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors\, artists\, and creative thinkers of our time. \n \n\nHours\nThe museum is open every day\, except Mondays\, July 4\, Thanksgiving\, Christmas\, and New Year’s Day. \nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. \nAdmission to all exhibitions and public programs is free and open to the public.

After all\, the museum was originally designed to house his fine collection of old-master paintings and drawings\, as well as works on paper by Honoré Daumier and his 19th-century contemporaries. \n\n\n\n\n\nBut in the ensuing decades\, as the art world has continued to evolve\, so has Los Angeles — and so has the Hammer Museum\, which is now a part of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. In 1994\, UCLA assumed management and operations of the museum\, and the Hammer kept its original purpose but also expanded its mission. Today\, the Hammer has a wide reputation for innovation and for showcasing new artists. \n  \n\nNew Contemporary Gallery\n\n  \n“L.A. has become a hotbed of contemporary art and artists\,” says Ann Philbin\, the museum’s director since 1999\, “and the Hammer has become a premier institution where they are shown.” \n  \n\n\n4th-Floor-Offices\n\n  \nUnder Philbin’s leadership\, the museum has expanded its collections and programs\, including establishing the Hammer Projects series of exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national and international emerging artists. It also launched the Made in L.A. biennial\, now in its fourth edition. Through these and other innovations\, the Hammer has quadrupled its attendance to about 250\,000 a year. \n  \nLindbrook Terrace\n  \nMeanwhile\, Occidental Petroleum\, which occupied the adjoining building\, relocated to Houston\, Texas. So the Hammer has begun a major\, multiyear expansion that will take the museum far into the 21st century. \nEarlier this year\, the Hammer announced a $180 million capital campaign. Almost half of those funds will be used to expand gallery and other public spaces\, while the rest will go toward exhibitions\, programming and an endowment. The museum has already raised more than $130 million\, including $30 million from L.A. philanthropists Lynda and Stewart ’59\, J.D. ’62 Resnick and $20 million from Hammer board chair Marcy Carsey. \n  \n  \nAnnex\n  \nThe renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture\, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan\, include: \n• A newly designed entrance at Wilshire and Westwood boulevards to maximize the museum’s visual presence at one of the nation’s busiest intersections. In the coming years\, the museum will also benefit from a planned Metro Purple Line station across Wilshire. \n• More than 10\,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art. \n• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection. \n• 20\,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces\, including a new restaurant. \n• A new and more accessible Hammer Store. \n  \n  \n2nd Floor B Side\n  \nIn all\, the expansion will provide 60 percent more gallery space for exhibitions. The museum will remain open during construction\, and admission will continue to be free. “We’re accessible to everyone\, and that keeps people coming back\,” Philbin says. “L.A. has been growing as one of the world’s most exciting cultural creative communities\, and the museum has grown alongside it.” \n  \n\n  \nBookstore\nHISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM\nThe Hammer Museum opened to the public in November 1990. Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer\, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation\, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental\, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time\, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings\, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990\, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished. \nIn 1992\, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor\, University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994\, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden\, located at the north end of the UCLA campus. \nHenry Hopkins\, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art\, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions\, scholarly historical exhibitions\, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2\,000 artworks. In addition\, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building\, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction\, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects\, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national\, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors\, artists\, and creative thinkers of our time. \n \n\nHours\nThe museum is open every day\, except Mondays\, July 4\, Thanksgiving\, Christmas\, and New Year’s Day. \nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. \nAdmission to all exhibitions and public programs is free and open to the public. Free admission to the Hammer Museum is made possible through the generosity of Erika J Glazer and Brenda R. Potter. \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/hammer-museum-3/2022-09-13/ LOCATION:Hammer Museum\, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Crafts,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Museums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Hammer-Museum_4x2.jpg GEO:34.0591217;-118.4436674 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10899 Wilshire Boulevard:geo:-118.4436674,34.0591217 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220902T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220902T210000 DTSTAMP:20220902T223238Z CREATED:20220222T094211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220902T223238Z UID:10018421-1662147000-1662152400@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Hammer Museum Free Screening DESCRIPTION:TONIGHT- The Hammer Museum\nThe Hammer Museum present a free screening of \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10899 Wilshire Blvd\, Los Angeles\, CA 90024\n\n\nThe Billy Wilder Theater\, home of UCLA Film & Television Archive’s public programs\, is among a handful of venues nationwide able to exhibit an entire century’s worth of moving images in their original formats.

What follows is both an homage—Larry Clark dedicates the film to “Hebert Baker and other Black Musicians known and unknown”—and a setting straight through the story of Womack (Nathaniel Taylor)\, a saxophonist who returns home from a prison stint to reconnect with his mentor and grandfather\, a legendary musician and pick up the pieces of his life. Sent up for defending a fellow Black musician from white gangsters who control the music industry through violence\, Womack again finds himself fighting for the right to create on his own terms. With an astonishing score composed by Horace Tapscott and performed by The Pan Afrikan People’s Arkestra\, Passing Through celebrates—and\, indeed\, embodies—Black artistry while exposing the racist historical forces aligned to exploit it. \n35mm\, color\, 111 min.

A longtime couple and their trans maid assemble a motley crew\, including The Slut\, The Teen\, The Stud and The Star\, for another of the trio’s frequent orgies. To everyone’s initial chagrin and eventual shared catharsis\, a theater of the pansexual absurd\, fueled by a collective hallucination\, unfolds as a dreamlike tableaux of memories instead of the suck-and-f*ck they all showed up for.

Courtesy of Altered Innocence. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nYOU AND THE NIGHT\n\nLes rencontres d’après minuit\, France\, 2013 \nIn his first feature-length film after a substantial effort in short-form filmmaking\, Nice-born writer-director Yann Gonzalez riffs on character tropes à la The Breakfast Club with a sexy and markedly queer twist\, underscored by the synthpop music of M83\, Yann’s brother Anthony’s band. A longtime couple and their trans maid assemble a motley crew\, including The Slut\, The Teen\, The Stud and The Star\, for another of the trio’s frequent orgies. To everyone’s initial chagrin and eventual shared catharsis\, a theater of the pansexual absurd\, fueled by a collective hallucination\, unfolds as a dreamlike tableaux of memories instead of the suck-and-f*ck they all showed up for. A tribute to the power of chosen families and the possibilities offered by pure cinematic imagination. \nDCP\, color\, in French with English subtitles\, 92 min. Director/Screenwriter: Yann Gonzalez.

Paak.\, the Black Eyed Peas\, Dr. Dre\, and Questlove. Atwood-Ferguson brings this expansive and inclusive musical vision to his own projects\, creating a kaleidoscopic blend of artfully balanced urban grooves\, dreamy melodicism\, and daring orchestration. \nThis unique ensemble features a driving rhythm section\, harp\, saxophone\, and Atwood-Ferguson’s own virtuosic 5-string electric violin playing. “[Atwood-Ferguson] has become a kind of Wynton Marsalis or Gunther Schuller for the postsoul\, semijazz\, pacifist-hip-hop continuum: a leader of skilled ensembles\, a celebrator of repertories\, an organizer of legacies” (The New York Times). \n  \n \nTina Raymond Trio – August 11\n \nAndrew Renfroe\, guitar\nKarl McComas-Reichl\, bass\nTina Raymond\, drums \nIn her debut album\, Left\, Right\, Left\, Los Angeles drummer Tina Raymond explores America’s polarized politics through a set of patriotic hymns\, folk songs\, protest anthems\, and music by Woody Guthrie\, Joni Mitchell\, and Joan Baez. Her thesis is that concepts of left and right are integral to understanding both drumming technique and American political discourse. A first-call sideperson in the Southern California jazz community\, Raymond has performed and recorded with Bobby Bradford\, Jeff Parker\, Art Lande\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and Vinny Golia\, among many others. Here she leads her guitar-bass-drums trio through a set of new and recent music that showcases her stellar musicianship and broad musical imagination. “Raymond displays ferocious chops and a remarkable sense of balance\, supporting the overall group sound as much as she asserts her individual voice” (Downbeat). \nPhillip Greenlief: Citta di Vitti – August 18\n \nPhillip Greenlief\, alto saxophone\nLisa Mezzacappa\, bass\nJason Levis\, drums \nIt’s hard to overstate the impact multi-reed player and composer Phillip Greenlief has had on the San Francisco Bay Area music community\, where he has been a performer\, ensemble leader\, and collaborator with musicians\, dancers\, and writers for more than three decades. A master improviser\, Greenlief has performed with creative music luminaries like Fred Frith\, Wadada Leo Smith\, and Joëlle Léandre\, and guested with rock bands like They Might Be Giants and Thelonious Monster. \nGreenlief is also a devout cinephile\, and his Citta di Vitti project is a collection of evocative\, jaunty\, moody compositions for trio (alto saxophone\, bass\, drums) that he composed to accompany the films of Michelangelo Antonioni\, whose muse\, the luminous actor Monica Vitti\, died in early 2022. “A ravishing\, spacious\, and angst-ridden set of tunes” (San Francisco Classical Voice). \n\nMEMBERSHIP GIVES YOU MORE\n\nHammer members enjoy front row access to JazzPOP concerts. Join or renew your membership today for the best seats in the courtyard\, reserved exclusively for Hammer members. \n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu/programs-events/2022/jazzpop-2022\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/hammer-jazz-pop/2022-08-18/ LOCATION:Hammer Museum\, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:-UCLA Westwood Village,Concerts & Music,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Hammer-Jazz-Pop_4x2.jpeg GEO:34.0591217;-118.4436674 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10899 Wilshire Boulevard:geo:-118.4436674,34.0591217 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220814T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220814T110000 DTSTAMP:20220713T102449Z CREATED:20220222T094211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220713T102449Z UID:10018420-1660474800-1660474800@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Hammer Museum Free Screening DESCRIPTION:TONIGHT- The Hammer Museum\nThe Hammer Museum and the UCLA Film & Television Archive present a free screening of \nFamily Flicks: Wadjda\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommend for ages 8+ \nTen-year-old Wadjda has her eyes set on a shiny green bicycle to feel the wind on her face and the thrill of racing her friend Abdullah.

Paak.\, the Black Eyed Peas\, Dr. Dre\, and Questlove. Atwood-Ferguson brings this expansive and inclusive musical vision to his own projects\, creating a kaleidoscopic blend of artfully balanced urban grooves\, dreamy melodicism\, and daring orchestration. \nThis unique ensemble features a driving rhythm section\, harp\, saxophone\, and Atwood-Ferguson’s own virtuosic 5-string electric violin playing. “[Atwood-Ferguson] has become a kind of Wynton Marsalis or Gunther Schuller for the postsoul\, semijazz\, pacifist-hip-hop continuum: a leader of skilled ensembles\, a celebrator of repertories\, an organizer of legacies” (The New York Times). \n  \n \nTina Raymond Trio – August 11\n \nAndrew Renfroe\, guitar\nKarl McComas-Reichl\, bass\nTina Raymond\, drums \nIn her debut album\, Left\, Right\, Left\, Los Angeles drummer Tina Raymond explores America’s polarized politics through a set of patriotic hymns\, folk songs\, protest anthems\, and music by Woody Guthrie\, Joni Mitchell\, and Joan Baez. Her thesis is that concepts of left and right are integral to understanding both drumming technique and American political discourse. A first-call sideperson in the Southern California jazz community\, Raymond has performed and recorded with Bobby Bradford\, Jeff Parker\, Art Lande\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and Vinny Golia\, among many others. Here she leads her guitar-bass-drums trio through a set of new and recent music that showcases her stellar musicianship and broad musical imagination. “Raymond displays ferocious chops and a remarkable sense of balance\, supporting the overall group sound as much as she asserts her individual voice” (Downbeat). \nPhillip Greenlief: Citta di Vitti – August 18\n \nPhillip Greenlief\, alto saxophone\nLisa Mezzacappa\, bass\nJason Levis\, drums \nIt’s hard to overstate the impact multi-reed player and composer Phillip Greenlief has had on the San Francisco Bay Area music community\, where he has been a performer\, ensemble leader\, and collaborator with musicians\, dancers\, and writers for more than three decades. A master improviser\, Greenlief has performed with creative music luminaries like Fred Frith\, Wadada Leo Smith\, and Joëlle Léandre\, and guested with rock bands like They Might Be Giants and Thelonious Monster. \nGreenlief is also a devout cinephile\, and his Citta di Vitti project is a collection of evocative\, jaunty\, moody compositions for trio (alto saxophone\, bass\, drums) that he composed to accompany the films of Michelangelo Antonioni\, whose muse\, the luminous actor Monica Vitti\, died in early 2022. “A ravishing\, spacious\, and angst-ridden set of tunes” (San Francisco Classical Voice). \n\nMEMBERSHIP GIVES YOU MORE\n\nHammer members enjoy front row access to JazzPOP concerts. Join or renew your membership today for the best seats in the courtyard\, reserved exclusively for Hammer members. \n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu/programs-events/2022/jazzpop-2022\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/hammer-jazz-pop/2022-08-11/ LOCATION:Hammer Museum\, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:-UCLA Westwood Village,Concerts & Music,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Hammer-Jazz-Pop_4x2.jpeg GEO:34.0591217;-118.4436674 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10899 Wilshire Boulevard:geo:-118.4436674,34.0591217 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220809T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220809T200000 DTSTAMP:20210406T063638Z CREATED:20170411T001455Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210406T063638Z UID:10002678-1660042800-1660075200@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:THE HAMMER MUSEUM DESCRIPTION:FREE FOR GOOD!

After all\, the museum was originally designed to house his fine collection of old-master paintings and drawings\, as well as works on paper by Honoré Daumier and his 19th-century contemporaries. \n\n\n\n\n\nBut in the ensuing decades\, as the art world has continued to evolve\, so has Los Angeles — and so has the Hammer Museum\, which is now a part of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. In 1994\, UCLA assumed management and operations of the museum\, and the Hammer kept its original purpose but also expanded its mission. Today\, the Hammer has a wide reputation for innovation and for showcasing new artists. \n  \n\nNew Contemporary Gallery\n\n  \n“L.A. has become a hotbed of contemporary art and artists\,” says Ann Philbin\, the museum’s director since 1999\, “and the Hammer has become a premier institution where they are shown.” \n  \n\n\n4th-Floor-Offices\n\n  \nUnder Philbin’s leadership\, the museum has expanded its collections and programs\, including establishing the Hammer Projects series of exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national and international emerging artists. It also launched the Made in L.A. biennial\, now in its fourth edition. Through these and other innovations\, the Hammer has quadrupled its attendance to about 250\,000 a year. \n  \nLindbrook Terrace\n  \nMeanwhile\, Occidental Petroleum\, which occupied the adjoining building\, relocated to Houston\, Texas. So the Hammer has begun a major\, multiyear expansion that will take the museum far into the 21st century. \nEarlier this year\, the Hammer announced a $180 million capital campaign. Almost half of those funds will be used to expand gallery and other public spaces\, while the rest will go toward exhibitions\, programming and an endowment. The museum has already raised more than $130 million\, including $30 million from L.A. philanthropists Lynda and Stewart ’59\, J.D. ’62 Resnick and $20 million from Hammer board chair Marcy Carsey. \n  \n  \nAnnex\n  \nThe renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture\, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan\, include: \n• A newly designed entrance at Wilshire and Westwood boulevards to maximize the museum’s visual presence at one of the nation’s busiest intersections. In the coming years\, the museum will also benefit from a planned Metro Purple Line station across Wilshire. \n• More than 10\,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art. \n• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection. \n• 20\,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces\, including a new restaurant. \n• A new and more accessible Hammer Store. \n  \n  \n2nd Floor B Side\n  \nIn all\, the expansion will provide 60 percent more gallery space for exhibitions. The museum will remain open during construction\, and admission will continue to be free. “We’re accessible to everyone\, and that keeps people coming back\,” Philbin says. “L.A. has been growing as one of the world’s most exciting cultural creative communities\, and the museum has grown alongside it.” \n  \n\n  \nBookstore\nHISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM\nThe Hammer Museum opened to the public in November 1990. Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer\, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation\, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental\, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time\, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings\, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990\, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished. \nIn 1992\, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor\, University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994\, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden\, located at the north end of the UCLA campus. \nHenry Hopkins\, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art\, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions\, scholarly historical exhibitions\, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2\,000 artworks. In addition\, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building\, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction\, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects\, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national\, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors\, artists\, and creative thinkers of our time. \n \n\nHours\nThe museum is open every day\, except Mondays\, July 4\, Thanksgiving\, Christmas\, and New Year’s Day. \nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. \nAdmission to all exhibitions and public programs is free and open to the public. Free admission to the Hammer Museum is made possible through the generosity of Erika J Glazer and Brenda R. Potter. \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/hammer-museum-3/2022-08-09/ LOCATION:Hammer Museum\, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Crafts,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Museums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Hammer-Museum_4x2.jpg GEO:34.0591217;-118.4436674 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10899 Wilshire Boulevard:geo:-118.4436674,34.0591217 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220807T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220807T210000 DTSTAMP:20220713T100305Z CREATED:20220222T094211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220713T100305Z UID:10016765-1659898800-1659906000@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Hammer Museum Free Screening DESCRIPTION:TONIGHT- The Hammer Museum\nThe Hammer Museum present a free screening of \n\n\nMEET JOHN DOE\n\nU.S.\, 1941 \nDirector Frank Capra and screenwriter Robert Riskin’s 1941 political fantasy Meet John Doe wasn’t set in the near or distant future but it feels more prophetic by the hour. It’s got it all: a disconnected\, alienated (largely white) American working class\, fake news\, an incipient fascist cabal and\, of course\, mobs. In Capra and Riskin’s telling\, the parting shot of a disgruntled reporter (Barbara Stanwyck)—a manifesto in the form of a suicide note\, written by a fictional everyman—inadvertently launches a nationwide political movement after her nervous newspaper finds a patsy to play the everyman (Gary Cooper). Outwardly well-intentioned\, the movement is quickly co-opted by corrupt autocrats bent on seizing power. Even Capra and Riskin’s struggle—and ultimate failure—to bring their nihilistic vision to a satisfying resolution seems to resonate with today’s headlines. \n35mm\, b&w\, 129 min. Director: Frank Capra. Screenwriter: Robert Riskin.

A Hollywood paean to the pleasures of small town life and the simple grace of being median\, Magic Town finds the forces of change— Jane Wyman’s crusading editor—and the forces of stasis—James Stewart’s cynical pollster—locked in flirtatious combat over the fate of Grandview\, a pleasant burg that Stewart discovers perfectly reflects the aggregate opinions of the nation as a whole. The media\, politicians and all manner of profit-seeking elites are the targets of Riskin’s satire in defense of the common sense folk who inevitably\, in Riskin’s view\, always end up holding the bag. \n35mm\, b&w\, 103 min. Director: William A. Wellman. Screenwriter: Robert Riskin.

We wanted to work with long lenses and do mostly close ups\, to be extremely close. When I decide [on a style of shooting] with Agnès\, I try never to change it even though sometimes it’s difficult to stick with your principle while shooting. I know that the only reasonable thing is to stick to it\, because the principle came at the moment that I was most creative–when I was writing and dreaming about the film. It’s too easy to abandon the principle purely because of a difficulty. But\, on the other hand\, Agnès and I are always aware that we have to be very open to the choreography of the bodies and give a lot of freedom to the actors. I always tell the actors what the principle is of a scene\, but inside that principle they are free.”—Claire Denis\, Filmmaker magazine interview with Ira Sachs\, 1997 \n35mm\, color\, in French\, Vietnamese and English with English subtitles\, 103 min.

This beauty is already part of the sexual [dynamic]. Then\, in almost all her films there’s a dance sequence. I like to dance myself\, that’s for sure. I like to shoot dance sequences because it’s done handheld. It’s like you are dancing\, also. That means there is also music when we shoot\, so this is just fantastic because you forget everything\, the weight of the camera\, technical difficulties and everything.”—Agnès Godard\, KQED interview with Michael Fox\, 2013 \n“In terms of the comparison with dance\, there’s also the fact that over-the-shoulder camerawork requires you to be in rhythm with the actors\, which is like dancing with a partner.

Like the rusting relics of this country’s militarized past\, the chinks in Galoup’s armor begin to show as he struggles to maintain authority over his troops\, including oft-Agnès Godard-lensed Grégoire Colin (see him also in Nénette et Boni\, 35 rhums and La vie rêvée des anges in this series) with the quiet desperation of a man newly drained of significance. As the lithe legionnaires run military drills\, their perspiring bodies receive reverent lensing thanks to Godard\, who has collaborated with filmmaker Denis for two decades. With simple stretching sessions blocked with geometric\, Busby Berkeley-like precision\, underwater sequences that flirt with the ghost of Esther Williams and pulsing nighttime discotheques\, Beau travail looks back at its French New Wave predecessors while tipping its beret to neoclassical ballet traditions for a singular piece of elliptical\, formally abstracted cinema. \nDCP\, color\, in French\, Italian and Russian with English subtitles\, 92 min. Director: Claire Denis. Screenwriters: Claire Denis\, Jean-Pol Fargeau. Based on the novella by Herman Melville\, Billy Budd\, Sailor. Cinematographer: Agnès Godard. Editor: Nelly Quettier. With: Denis Lavant\, Michel Subor\, Grégoire Colin\, Richard Courcet\, Nicolas Duvauchelle. \n\n\n\n\n\nJACQUOT DE NANTES\n\nFrance\, 1991 \nAgnès Varda’s tender evocation of the childhood of her husband\, Jacques Demy—a dream project of his that she realized when he became too ill to direct the film himself—is a wonder-filled portrait of the artist as a young man and an enchanting ode to the magic of cinema. Shot in Demy’s hometown of Nantes (including the house he grew up in)\, this imaginative blend of narrative and documentary traces his coming of age amid the tumult of World War II as he finds escape in a universe of puppet shows\, fairy tales\, opera\, and\, above all\, movies—the formative aesthetic experiences that would fuel his vivid Technicolor imagination and find unforgettable expression in his exuberant French New Wave masterworks. Interspersed with intimate footage of the older Demy reflecting on his life’s journey\, Jacquot de Nantes is a poignant love letter from one visionary artist to another.—Janus Films \nDCP\, b&w and color\, in French with English subtitles\, 118 min.

Paak.\, the Black Eyed Peas\, Dr. Dre\, and Questlove. Atwood-Ferguson brings this expansive and inclusive musical vision to his own projects\, creating a kaleidoscopic blend of artfully balanced urban grooves\, dreamy melodicism\, and daring orchestration. \nThis unique ensemble features a driving rhythm section\, harp\, saxophone\, and Atwood-Ferguson’s own virtuosic 5-string electric violin playing. “[Atwood-Ferguson] has become a kind of Wynton Marsalis or Gunther Schuller for the postsoul\, semijazz\, pacifist-hip-hop continuum: a leader of skilled ensembles\, a celebrator of repertories\, an organizer of legacies” (The New York Times). \n  \n \nTina Raymond Trio – August 11\n \nAndrew Renfroe\, guitar\nKarl McComas-Reichl\, bass\nTina Raymond\, drums \nIn her debut album\, Left\, Right\, Left\, Los Angeles drummer Tina Raymond explores America’s polarized politics through a set of patriotic hymns\, folk songs\, protest anthems\, and music by Woody Guthrie\, Joni Mitchell\, and Joan Baez. Her thesis is that concepts of left and right are integral to understanding both drumming technique and American political discourse. A first-call sideperson in the Southern California jazz community\, Raymond has performed and recorded with Bobby Bradford\, Jeff Parker\, Art Lande\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and Vinny Golia\, among many others. Here she leads her guitar-bass-drums trio through a set of new and recent music that showcases her stellar musicianship and broad musical imagination. “Raymond displays ferocious chops and a remarkable sense of balance\, supporting the overall group sound as much as she asserts her individual voice” (Downbeat). \nPhillip Greenlief: Citta di Vitti – August 18\n \nPhillip Greenlief\, alto saxophone\nLisa Mezzacappa\, bass\nJason Levis\, drums \nIt’s hard to overstate the impact multi-reed player and composer Phillip Greenlief has had on the San Francisco Bay Area music community\, where he has been a performer\, ensemble leader\, and collaborator with musicians\, dancers\, and writers for more than three decades. A master improviser\, Greenlief has performed with creative music luminaries like Fred Frith\, Wadada Leo Smith\, and Joëlle Léandre\, and guested with rock bands like They Might Be Giants and Thelonious Monster. \nGreenlief is also a devout cinephile\, and his Citta di Vitti project is a collection of evocative\, jaunty\, moody compositions for trio (alto saxophone\, bass\, drums) that he composed to accompany the films of Michelangelo Antonioni\, whose muse\, the luminous actor Monica Vitti\, died in early 2022. “A ravishing\, spacious\, and angst-ridden set of tunes” (San Francisco Classical Voice). \n\nMEMBERSHIP GIVES YOU MORE\n\nHammer members enjoy front row access to JazzPOP concerts. Join or renew your membership today for the best seats in the courtyard\, reserved exclusively for Hammer members. \n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu/programs-events/2022/jazzpop-2022\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/hammer-jazz-pop/2022-08-04/ LOCATION:Hammer Museum\, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:-UCLA Westwood Village,Concerts & Music,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Hammer-Jazz-Pop_4x2.jpeg GEO:34.0591217;-118.4436674 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10899 Wilshire Boulevard:geo:-118.4436674,34.0591217 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220731T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220731T220000 DTSTAMP:20220624T220438Z CREATED:20220222T094211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220624T220438Z UID:10017718-1659295800-1659304800@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Hammer Museum Free Screening DESCRIPTION:TONIGHT- The Hammer Museum\nThe Hammer Museum presents a free screening of \n\n\n\nBORDER RADIO\n\nAllison Anders\, Dean Lent\, and Kurt Voss leapt on to the scene with this stunning early feature\, made while they were still graduate students at UCLA.

Ruby’s journal entries\, recounted in voiceover\, provide a loose throughline to her episodic experiences\, warily building new relationships—some supportive\, some not—on the way to leaving the past behind and discovering herself on her own terms. A pioneering regional filmmaker\, writer-director Victor Nunez tells Ruby’s story through quiet rhythms of drift and reflection\, intune with Ruby’s new hometown\, itself a liminal space of seasonal workers and tourists\, lives all heading somewhere else. \n(1993\, dir.

Plus KCRW DJs\, happy hour\, and extended gallery hours. \n\nHANA VU with KCRW DJs Dan Wilcox and Valida\nJuly 28 6:30pm \nHana Vu writes pop songs from her bedroom in Los Angeles. In 2021\, she signed to Ghostly International and released her full-length debut\, Public Storage\, followed by the EP Parking Lot in 2022. Vu’s relationship with music began when she picked up a her dad’s guitar and taught herself to play. She’d wake up every day and listen to L.A.’s ALT 98.7\, home to 1990s and 2000s alternative rock. Later in high school\, she found the local DIY scene. She remembers\, “A lot of my peer musicians were surf rock/punk type bands and so I tried to fit into that when I was gigging around. But what I was listening to at that time [St. Vincent\, Sufjan Stevens] was very different from what I performed.” As a live performer\, Vu has supported the likes of Soccer Mommy\, Sales\, Nilufer Yanya\, Wet\, Kilo Kish\, and Phantogram. \nIn 2014\, at age 14\, she started keeping a journal of bedroom pop experiments on Bandcamp. Her sound—brooding\, melodic pop driven by guitar and Vu’s distinctive contralto—developed across a series of self-releases\, including a low-key Willow Smith collaboration and covers of The Cure and Phil Collins. Her 2018 single “Crying on the Subway” caught the ear of Gorilla vs. Bear\, who released Vu’s self-produced debut EP\, How Many Times Have You Driven By. Early coverage came from Pitchfork\, NME\, and The Fader\, the latter playfully declaring\, “the seventeen-year-old is cooler than you and me.” Public Storage marked her first release with Ghostly and her first time working with a co-producer\, Jackson Phillips (Day Wave). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10899 Wilshire Blvd\, Los Angeles\, CA 90024\n\n\nThe Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light\, experience the unexpected\, to ignite our imaginations\, and inspire change. \nThe Hammer understands that art not only has the power to transport us through aesthetic experience but can also provide significant insight into some of the most pressing cultural\, political\, and social questions of our time.
