HAMMER TIME FOR KARA WALKER

I was lucky enough to see Kara Walker's My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love exhibit at the Whitney Museum this past winter in NYC, but for all of you have not been able to witness her artistic ability, her exhibit at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles opens up this coming Sunday, March 2.Kara Walker has been named one of Time's "100 Most Influential People" in 2007, and through her carefully constructed silhouettes, retells American history, particularly through images of sexual violence and racial stereotypes.
Her ability to incorporate emotions of pain, anger, sorrow, and humor combined with her precision in handicraft (she carefully cuts all her silhouette pieces out of paper) reveal the often overlooked dark sides of history and how these have shaped sexual and racial views of the world today.
Check it out at the Hammer Museum @ 10899 Wilshire Blvd, starting March 2 through June 8.
This is one exhibit you definitely don't wanna miss - it will open your mind and heart up. Forreeall!!!
