Mark Manders’ simple, while simultaneously sad, creepy and beautiful, sculptures are up at The Hammer Museum in "Parallel Occurrences/Documented Assignments." Combining (literally and references to) every day objects with the simplest of media and colors, Manders’ work feels like an incredibly familiar dream in which one is completely, almost desperately, alone. And that’s just when he places a few vertical pieces of wood together. "Mark Manders: Parallel Occurrences/Documented Assignments" is up at The Hammer Museum until January 2. While you’re there, check out equally awesome shows by My Barbarian and Julian Hoeber (which I may just write about next week; I can’t help but have a small art-crush on the man). If that isn’t enough reason to go, The Hammer is in the midst of completely free admission for 20 days to celebrate its 20th anniversary! So no excuses. You really must see this work in person.
