- This is a past program
Due to uncertainty around COVID-19, the Hammer is temporarily closed to the public and this program has been canceled. For COVID-19 updates impacting the UCLA community, please visit UCLA’s Newsroom.
Three of Paul McCarthy’s touchstone video performance works from the 1990s highlight the artist’s tendencies toward performing in character and in the guise of such iconic figures as Willem de Kooning and Alfred E. Neuman.
An in-person introduction by artist Kaari Upson precedes the screening. (Bossy Burger, 1991, dir. Paul McCarthy, 59 min.; Heidi, 1991, dir. Paul McCarthy and Mike Kelley, 64 min.; Painter, 1995, dir. Paul McCarthy, 50 min.)
All public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.
Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, the Elizabeth Bixby Janeway Foundation, The Samuel Goldwyn Foundation, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members.
Digital presentation of Hammer public programs is made possible by The Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
Hammer public programs are presented online in partnership with the #KeepThePromise campaign—a movement promoting social justice and human rights through the arts.
