Featuring nearly 200 works dating from 1970 to the present, “At the Center of the World” is a much-anticipated retrospective for artist Jimmie Durham.
Durham is a compelling, inventive and multifaceted artist, performer and activist working internationally today. After studying art in Geneva and working for the American Indian Movement for several years, Durham became a participant in the vibrant New York City downtown art scene in the 1980s and a significant figure who helped broaden the canon of art recognizing the work of artists of color.
The Hammer Museum and senior curator Anne Ellegood present Durham's work for the first time in North America. “At the Center of the World” provides audiences with the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of Durham’s richly rewarding work. Hammer Museum admission is free.
