The Hammer Museum

I really want you guys to google the Hammer Museum. Specifically google an article called “Armand Hammer’s Orphan Museum Turns Into Cinderella.” I mean you can look it up on the NYT site, but I recently deduced that NYT articles you find on google don’t count against your 10 article a month limit. #loophole.

Anyway, the Hammer Museum has some of the most amazing programming priorities I've ever heard of. The attitude of the director, Ann Philbin, is admirable and has two ideas I want to strive for as an administrator: 1. an openness to ideas that do not fit strictly into the existing model for what art should be and 2. the idea that there is value in art that may not pass the test of relevance in the future.

She says, “We give ourselves license to say this is not necessarily the next Picasso, but rather this is worthy of our consideration at this moment in time.” and continues later to say, “it’s our job to be the R&D arm for the university in the arts, to push the boundaries of what’s happening in the world at the moment, which means contemporary art, but it also means re-evaluating art history and what the canon is.”

So what’s the programming? They show college students and emerging artists in prominent spaces. They show artists that don’t get a lot of press, but are doing something innovative. They’ve had Gore Vidal speak. They show movies weekly.

This all sounds really simple, but it’s HUGE in getting college kids that are not artists involved in an arts setting. Their aim is make the museum a place you can go any night and experience something – to basically come up with a bar-style concept.

I haven’t found an article updating us on the status of the museum, but Ann is still there and their yelp rating is a largely unchallenged 4.0 stars.
