Perfume was a thriving industry in Late Bronze Age Greece. In this presentation and sensory experience, archaeologist Cynthia Shelmerdine shares the Mycenaean evidence that reveals the materials, production methods, and people involved in the process. Perfumer Michael Nordstrand then recounts how he recreated both a 3,000-year-old perfume and a variation interpreted for a modern audience. Attendees will have the opportunity to compare both versions on scent strips before joining a Q&A moderated by curator Claire Lyons.

Drawing is a skill, gained like any other through study and practice. Combining the movement of the hand with the dedication of the mind, drawing was considered the foundation of the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture since the Renaissance. Proficiency in drawing was critical for exploring, inventing, and communicating ideas visually, but how was this foundational ability actually learned? This exhibition explores artistic training and the mastery of drawing in Europe from about 1550 to 1850.
Oh, and they have live drawing events coming up too:

A total hoot for Italian horror novices and superfans alike. One of the final horror gems in the vast sleazy filmography of Lucio Fulci (ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND), MURDEROCK blends FLASHDANCE tropes, upbeat Eurodisco nonsense (courtesy of prog rocker Keith Emerson) and black-gloved slasher thrills into a lavish satisfying stew. Nothing is as it seems in this foggy ‘80s world of whiny dance students, backbiting school staff, puzzled cops, handsome strangers, surreal dream sequences, gruesome kills, naughty eroticism and spiraling labyrinthine mystery. Who will live to dance another day?!?!

Made
in L.A. 2025 is the seventh iteration of the Hammer’s signature
biennial exhibition that showcases artists practicing throughout the
greater Los Angeles area. The 28 participants in the exhibition present
work not only made in the city but also grounded in its complex and
unfolding terrain. Neither myth nor monolith, Los Angeles is many things
to many people, and its dissonance is perhaps its most distinguishing
feature. The works presented in this year’s biennial include film,
painting, theater, choreography, photography, sculpture, sound, and
video. Attitude draws them together: Each engages with this city in ways
alternately literal, formal, material, and metaphoric. Conceived or
made in Los Angeles, they are of this city and nowhere else.
