Nos complace anunciar la participación de Renata Petersen en Hammer Projects, el programa público del Hammer Museum, que abrirá sus puertas al público el 18 de mayo de 2025.
Esta exposición marca la primera presentación de Petersen en Estados Unidos y representa uno de los proyectos más ambiciosos de su trayectoria hasta ahora. Hammer Projects: Renata Petersen está organizado por Aram Moshayedi, curador en jefe del museo.
La instalación de Renata Petersen (1993, Guadalajara) en el Hammer Museum investiga la historia de sectas religiosas de la corriente new age, con un enfoque particular en aquellas originadas en el sur de California. Concebida como un entorno inmersivo que ocupa por completo la Vault Gallery, esta intervención arquitectónica ofrece una reinterpretación contemporánea de la Capilla Scrovegni de Giotto di Bondone en Padua, Italia.
Desde 1999, Hammer Projects ha sido considerada un propuesta emblemática dentro del programa expositivo del Hammer Museum, presentando exposiciones individuales de artistas contemporáneos de todo el mundo y destacando nuevas propuestas en momentos clave de sus carreras.
Hammer Projects se lleva a cabo en memoria de Tom Slaughter y cuenta con el apoyo de la Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. Su principal financiamiento proviene de Hammer Collective, con el generoso respaldo de Susan Bay Nimoy y Leonard Nimoy. Además, recibe apoyo del Consejo de Supervisores del Condado de Los Ángeles a través del Departamento de Artes y Cultura, así como de Good Works Foundation y Laura Donnelley. Hammer Projects: Lap-See Lam es posible, en parte, gracias a la Pasadena Art Alliance.
Pequod Co. agradece a Omnilife Collection por hacer posible este proyecto.
