Pentti Monkkonen
UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles
October 4, 2000 - January 21, 2001
L.A.-based artist Pentti Monkkonen will exhibit a new sculpture in the UCLA Hammer Museum's Vault Gallery. Monkkonen's buoyantly off-kilter sculptures are absurdist versions of the sorts of miniature amusement park rides that are often seen outside of grocery stores. For his Hammer Project installation, Monkkonen will create a chateau. Pentti Monkkonen received his B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1997 and has attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
Hammer Projects create exhibition opportunities for emerging or under-recognized artists as well as present international contemporary artists who are not well-known to the general audience in Los Angeles.
