Swedish-born, Berlin-based artist Nathalie Djurberg presents a new video and installation with related sculptures in the Lobby Gallery.
Her clay animation videos (with inventive soundtracks composed by Hans Berg) appear sweet and idyllic at first glance, but the action generally takes dark, twisted and disturbing turns as her characters act out wild revenge fantasies and other violent scenarios. Djurberg was included in a 2006 Hammer Project, Animations.
She has had solo exhibitions at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm and the Prada Foundation, Milan and was included in the 4th berlin biennale.
This will be her first solo museum exhibition in the U.S., running from September 28, 2008 to January 4, 2009. -- www.hammer.ucla.edu
