Hammer Conversations: Lawrence Weschler & Ramiro Gomez
Thursday, May 5, 7:30 p.m. | Hammer Museum
The writer Lawrence Weschler first encountered the work of the painter Ramiro Gomez at an art fair, where he noted Gomez’s insightful riffing on the work of David Hockney. Gomez calls attention to Southern California’s invisible domestic workers by inserting them into recasted familiar scenes by other artists or ads from luxe magazines. Weschler and Gomez will discuss their new book, Domestic Scenes: The Art of Ramiro Gomez. A book signing will follow the conversation.
