MAX HOOPER SCHNEIDER
Hammer Projects: Max Hooper Schneider
Hammer Museum
Los Angeles, USA21 September – 2 February 2020
Over the last decade Max Hooper Schneider has developed a taxonomy of living things, dead technology, and trash, transforming grotesque souvenirs of everyday life into exquisite objects and environments. An alchemist and incessant scavenger with a passion for the nonhuman world and marine biology, he investigates the often tragic results of humanity's interference with the natural world. The results are mesmerising and deeply visceral reflections on the nature of existence and environmental crises. Ostranenie – the artistic technique of presenting common things in an unfamiliar or strange way in order to enhance perception of the familiar – and techne – the ancient precept of material making – anchor Hooper Schneider's approach to art making.
Transfer Station is a new immersive installation for this Hammer Projects exhibition, his first solo museum show.
