On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Hammer Projects exhibition series, the Hammer Museum is pleased to announce the publication of a 432-page book featuring all the Hammer Projects of the last decade. Hammer Projects was created in 1999 upon the arrival of Ann Philbin and curator James Elaine. To date there have been more than 80 Hammer Projects. This new volume illustrates how remarkable the series is for its early presentation of artists such as Kara Walker, Barry McGee, Runa Islam, Arturo Herrera, Song Kun, Elliott Hundley, and Mark Grotjahn, to name but a few. The book includes full-color photographs of all the Hammer Projects and reproduces all of the original essays composed by an impressive selection of art critics and writers including Jan Tumlir, Lawrence Rinder, Hilton Als, Dave Hickey, Tim Griffin, Catherine Taft and Massimiliano Gioni. The publication also includes a conversation between James Elaine and Lauren Bon of the Annenberg Foundation, as well as an introductory essay by critic Christopher Miles. The book slips into an elegant die-cut slipcase and retails for $60.00.
Hammer Projects: 1999-2009 is made possible through the generosity of Chora/ Metabolic Studio. It is published with the assistance of The Getty Foundation. |
