The Los Angeles premiere of “Mark Bradford: Scorched Earth” exhibition will be on view at the Hammer Museum from June 20 through Sept. 27.

Comprising approximately 12 new paintings — including a major new work on the Hammer’s lobby wall — and a multimedia installation titled “Spiderman”, the new body of work refers to formative moments in the artist’s life and contemplates what the artist has called, “the body in crisis”. The exhibition brings together Bradford’s artistic practice, social activism and history as a native Angeleno and is curated by Connie Butler and with Jamillah James.

A second component of the exhibition, “Spiderman” is a multimedia installation, reimagining stand-up comedian Eddie Murphy’s searing commentary on sexuality in his controversial 1983 concert film “Delirious”. The Hammer is located at 10899 Wilshire Blvd. For information, visit www.hammer.ucla.edu.
