NEW ADDITIONS: The hammer_museum has undergone two decades' worth of transformations and the latest includes a new entrance and several expansive exhibition spaces.
The $90 million project has undergone renovations in phases since 2000, not once closing to the public during the process.
"The work of Chiharu Shiota has made a beautiful installation with red thread that's kind of maze-like and womb-like," said Connie Butler, the chief curator at the Hammer Museum. The third newly created space is an outdoor sculpture terrace, currently displaying The Oracle by Sanford Biggers. The 25-foot-tall, 7.64-ton, cast bronze sculpture will be featured for one year.
"I started to get inspired by also the artworks and trinkets people sold on the side of the street. Sometimes African objects, sometimes objects from Asia and I wanted to combine them because I think Rome was a multicultural area that had an influx of so many different cultures. It is the precursor to our society here in America today."
