Vishal Jugdeo: UCLA Department of Art Lectures

An interdisciplinary artist working between Los Angeles and New York, Vishal Jugdeo uses video, installation, performance, and sculpture to construct experimental approaches to narrative. His solo exhibitions include ICA Philadelphia, LAXART in Los Angeles, Western Front in Vancouver, and 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. Jugdeo’s commissioned works have been presented at MOCA Los Angeles, Performa in New York, the Hammer's inaugural Made in L.A. biennial, and the California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and an assistant professor of art at UCLA.

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, The Samuel Goldwyn Foundation, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members.

Public programs advancing social justice are presented by the Ford Foundation.

Digital presentation of Hammer public programs is made possible by the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
