Untitled (Colored Butterfly 10 Wings), 2004 Courtesy of Blum & Poe, Los Angeles Photo: Joshua White Mark Grotjahn Drawings Known primarily for his bold geometric paintings, Los Angeles artist Mark Grotjahn presents monochromatic and multi-colored drawings in his Hammer Project. Subverted by random spills and marks made by overdrawing from other works, Grotjahn's drawings of elegantly formal lines use various one-point linear perspectives that radiate and converge resembling fractured sunbursts or endless highways. This exhibition is organized by James Elaine, curator of Hammer Projects. Hammer Projects are a series of exhibitions that reflect the Museum's commitment to contemporary art by providing international and local artists a laboratory-like environment to create new work or to present existing work in a new context. Hammer Projects are made possible with support from The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, The Annenberg Foundation, the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, and members of the Hammer Circle. Exhibition: January 11 - April 17, 2005 Opening hours: Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, 11am - 7pm, Thu 11am - 9pm, Sun 11am - 5pm Closed Mondays, July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Blvd USA-Los Angeles, CA 90024 Telephone +1 310.443.7000 Email hammerinfo@arts.ucla.edu www.hammer.ucla.edu |
