The fifth iteration of the Hammer Museum’s biennial exhibition, “Made in L.A. 2020: a version,” is open at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, which reopened some of its select galleries to visitors last month.
Works by 30 Los Angeles-based artists are presented at both institutions – two versions that make up the whole. The exhibition features new installations, videos, films, sculptures, performances, and paintings, many commissioned specifically for the exhibition.
Funded through the generosity of Los Angeles philanthropists and art collectors Jarl and Pamela Mohn, three awards totaling $150,000 will be given to artists in the exhibition: the Mohn Award and the Career Achievement Award, both of which are selected by a professional jury, and the Public Recognition Award, which is determined through votes cast by visitors to the exhibition. Visitors will be able to vote at both exhibition locations.
During the run of Made in L.A. 2020, members and visitors to the Hammer will receive passes granting free admission to The Huntington to view Made in L.A. 2020 in full.
Made in L.A. 2020 is organized by independent curators Myriam Ben Salah and Lauren Mackler, with the Hammer’s Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi, assistant curator of performance.
To help ensure the safety of staff and visitors, The Huntington has put in place a number of new protocols and processes that are explained on The Huntington’s website.
Cloth masks or face coverings must be worn over the nose and mouth at all times, by all visitors and all staff members – even if vaccinated or even if a medical exemption is provided, except when eating or drinking. Only children under 2 years old are exempt from wearing face coverings.
Based on guidance from health authorities, masks with exhalation valves, vents, or holes of any kind are not acceptable face coverings at The Huntington. Visitors are required to pass symptom screening prior to entry.
A physical distance of six feet between yourself and others is required and will be enforced; children must stay with adults at all times.
If you begin to feel unwell during your visit, please call (626) 405-2250 and provide your location so staff can assist you.
