Message:	Upcoming events at the Hammer. Thursday, Mar 15 8pm This live performance integrates original and found film and video footage in new work by Los Angeles-based filmmakers and art collectives: F-Stop Serenade, Ryan Heffington, Lucas Michael, New Energy Encounter Group, Lawrence Rengert, and Kelly Sears. These artists employ disparate technical practices and aesthetic sensibilities, rich with references to both contemporary art and popular entertainment, to bridge the gap between images on the screen and actions on the stage. This presentation is organized by Darin Klein, Hammer program coordinator, independent curator, and artist. Wednesday, Mar 21 8pm Visual artist and performer Leslie Hall presents a live, multimedia show featuring new and recent songs, outrageous music videos, gem sweaters, and special guests. Thursday, Mar 22 7pm Art historian Pamela M. Lee talks with artist Mathias Poledna about his recent work. Lee is a professor of art history at Stanford University. Her most recent book is Chronophobia: On Time in the Art of the 1960s. Saturday, Mar 24 2pm In tandem with the Nimbus Ensembles March 29 concert in Zipper Hall, the Nimbus Institute presents three renowned scholars exploring intriguing aspects of the past-present relationship. These stimulating lectures will examine how substrata from a past interacting with present surface features informs our understanding and aesthetic responses.
