UCLA Department of Art Lectures: Russell Ferguson

  • This is a past program

Curator and author Russell Ferguson has organized numerous exhibitions, including The Undiscovered Country, Larry Johnson, Francis Alÿs, Wolfgang Tillmans, Patty Chang, and Christian Marclay, all at the Hammer Museum; and In Memory of My Feelings: Frank O’Hara and American Art, Liz Larner, and Douglas Gordon at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. With Kerry Brougher, he organized Damage Control: Art and Destruction since 1950 for the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and Open City: Street Photographs Since 1950 for The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. Ferguson will discuss his upcoming Hammer exhibition, Perfect Likeness. He is a professor in the UCLA Department of Art.

This program will be streamed live and archived on this page. We try to start on time, but sometimes programs begin 5–10 minutes late.

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

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, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members. 

The Hammer’s digital presentation of its public programs is made possible by the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
