The Melt Goes On Forever: The Art & Times of David Hammons chronicles the singular career of David Hammons, the elusive African American artist from Watts rebellion era 1960s Los Angeles to global art world prominence today. This special event will be a unique opportunity to view the award-winning documentary, presented for the first time in London and not yet available for online streaming in the UK.
Following the screening, the filmmakers Judd Tully and Harold Crooks will participate in a Q&A chaired by Katy Wan, Managing Curator of the D. Daskalopoulos Collection Gift through which was donated three significant artworks by Hammons – all of which feature in a dedicated room in Tate Modern’s permanent collection displays that attendees can view on the evening, after hours.
