Stanford art history professor Richard Meyer pops down to the Hammer this week to lead a conversation about this summer’s exhibit, David Medalla: In Conversation with the Cosmos. It’s a unique opportunity to visit the museum at night and explore the exhibit – the first comprehensive survey dedicated to the Filipino artist who died in 2020. His work “cultivated intimate forms of exchange between collaborators, friends, and lovers in the service of ‘cosmic propulsions,’ ‘Impromptus,’ and otherworldly propositions.”
