Conversations

Tacita Dean

  • This is a past program

The acclaimed British artist Tacita Dean speaks about the medium of film, time, and other issues related to her latest film, JG (2013), inspired by her correspondence with the British author J. G. Ballard (1930–2009) regarding connections between his short story “The Voices of Time” (1960) and Robert Smithson’s iconic earthwork and film Spiral Jetty (both works, 1970).

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from the Dream Fund at UCLA.

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, the Simms/Mann Family Foundation, The Brotman Foundation of California, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, and all Hammer members.

Hammer Lectures are made possible, in part by Honor Fraser and Stavros Merjos.
