Today I think we're going to head over to the Hammer Museum in Westwood and check out their latest film series exhibit "Minotaur" by visual artist Daria Martin.. The exhibit plays through July 3rd, but we're going today because The Hammer museum offers FREE ADMISSION on Thursdays! We love them.
"London-based American artist Daria Martin's 16mm film, "Minotaur" pays tribute to the work of dance pioneer Anna Halprin, whose life and work has had a profound influence on Martin. This film is centered on a Halprin dance based on the sculpture Minotaur by Auguste Rodin from 1886 (also known as Faun and Nymph), a work possessing intensely erotic content (it depicts the part-man/part-bull figure from Greek mythology with a naked young female in its grasp.) Martin's Minotaur extends her interweaving of highly conceptualized and choreographed physical movement; complexly layered stagecraft provoking unconventional formal relationships; direct allusions to modernist art history; and editing and cinematographic techniques evoking a broad range of the histories of both mainstream and experimental filmmaking." - Hammer Museum
