Overview Location

Press Release

This exhibition explores contemporary artists’ use of unusual mark-making devices, including blood, smoke, Kool-Aid, coffee, scrap metal, vegetable juice, pins, dryer lint, and more, to create drawings and prints. With works drawn largely from the collection of the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Out of the Ordinary examines artists’ wide-ranging motivations for choosing such unorthodox media, from sensory play and experimentation to excavations of the charged historical and symbolic values of mundane substances. Out of the Ordinary includes works by Tara Donovan, Anya Gallaccio, Mona Hatoum, Richard Long, Umar Rashid, Sherrill Roland, Ed Ruscha, and Zarina, among others.

About the Gallery

Founded in 1990 by Dr Armand Hammer to house his collection of Old Master and modern works, the museum now connects these historical holdings with a dynamic contemporary programme and research-driven initiatives. Located on Wilshire Boulevard near the UCLA campus, the Hammer forms part of the university’s School of the Arts and Architecture and serves both local communities and an international art public.
