FILM: The Melt Goes On Forever: The Art & Times of David Hammons Sunday, February 4, 4:30 pm Tickets: $11.00 The Melt Goes On Forever chronicles the singular career of the elusive African-American art star David Hammons from Watts rebellion era ’60s L.A. to global art world prominence today. Hammons’ category-defying practice – rooted in a deep critique of American society and the elite art world – is in the words of one art critic “an invitation to confront the fissures between races” as the artist seeks to go beyond the dominant culture and his own to a new one for the 21st century. Film is Not Rated.
