Houseguest was a series of exhibitions at the Hammer Museum in which artists were invited to curate a show of material from the museum’s and UCLA’s diverse collections. For the 2010 exhibition, Los Angeles-based artist Frances Stark chose to sift through the works in the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, a collection of more than forty-five thousand prints, drawings, photographs, and artist books dating from the Renaissance to the present.
This week’s #NotOnView work is one of Frances’s selections from that exhibition. Her solo exhibition UH-OH opens here on Sunday: http://bit.ly/UHOHStark
