Recommended for ages 6+ Family Flicks is co-presented with the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

This program is a love letter passionately proposing the curious coupling of East Coast and L.A. queer experimental filmmakers of yesterday and today.

Polish artist and Holocaust survivor Alina Szapocznikow often reflected on the ephemeral condition of human life in her work. This program presents the work of two contemporary filmmakers who provide context to her experiences. In Dani Gal’s Nacht und Nebel (Night and Fog, 2011, 22 min.), policemen transport the ashes of notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. Yael Bartana explores an imaginary world in which Polish Jews form a fictional Jewish Renaissance Movement in her Polish Trilogy: Mary Koszmary... ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:00:00 -0800 http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/detail/exhibition_id/215 http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/detail/exhibition_id/215 Hammer Projects Hammer Projects
Construction and art materials, urban detritus, domestic items, and even the occasional animal make their way into New York-based artist Alex Hubbard’s dynamic videos. Avoiding a single point of focus, he constructs his videos in layers, creating all-over compositions in which movement is multi-directional and time seems non-linear. Also a painter, his videos and paintings are constructed through parallel strategies, both exploring the construction, composition, mass, color, and depth of images in unexpec... ]]> Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://hammer.ucla.edu/programs/detail/program_id/1134 http://hammer.ucla.edu/programs/detail/program_id/1134 Lunchtime Art Talks Lunchtime Art Talks

Moon Medicine is an aural and optical experiment conducted by interdisciplinary artist Sanford Biggers. His live work, by turns troubling and inspiring, weaves found images of punk, funk, film noir, sci-fi, traditional Samoan dance, and Buddhism with original video content and improvised turntableism and veejaying. The result is an evocative concert that is as much jam session as it is a performative film screening. ALL HAMMER PUBLIC PROGRAMS ARE FREE.
