Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials

This exhibition brings together 22 artists from North, Central, and South America who work with organic materials such as avocado, cacao, achiote, cochineal, stone, clay, and natural dyes to create large-scale installations, paintings, and mixed-media sculptures.

Presented at the Hammer Museum at UCLA, the show reflects on organic decay, materials as records of the living and repositories of cosmic memory, and Brownness. Featured artists include Jackie Amézquita, Carmen Argote, Esteban Cabeza de Baca, Gustavo Caboco, Edgar Calel, Raven Chacon, Jaider Esbell, Sky Hopinka, Guadalupe Maravilla, Rose B. Simpson, Ayla Tavares, Santiago Yahuarcani, and others.

Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials is on view until August 23, 2026.
