Hammer Museum - Made in L.A. 2020: A Version

The fifth iteration of the Hammer’s acclaimed biennial bridges East and Eest with complementary presentations at the Hammer and The Huntington.

Works by 30 Los Angeles–based artists are presented at both institutions—two versions that make up the whole. The exhibition features new installations, videos, films, sculptures, performances, and paintings, many commissioned specifically for the exhibition.

Funded through the generosity of Los Angeles philanthropists and art collectors Jarl and Pamela Mohn, three awards totaling $150,000 will be given to artists in the exhibition: the Mohn Award, the Career Achievement Award—both of which are selected by a professional jury—and the Public Recognition Award, which is determined through votes cast by visitors to the exhibition. Visitors will be able to vote at both exhibition locations.

During the run of Made in L.A. 2020, members and visitors to the Hammer will receive passes granting free admission to The Huntington to view Made in L.A. 2020 in full. Made in L.A. 2020 is organized by independent curators Myriam Ben Salah and Lauren Mackler, with the Hammer’s Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi, assistant curator of performance.

Hammer visitors can pick up passes to make free, advance reservations for The Huntington through August 1. Reservations to The Huntington are available first come, first-served. Questions? Email info@hammer.ucla.edu or call 310-443-7020.
