Join artist **Danielle Dean** for an after-hours tour of *SPACE IS THE PLACE: Selections from the Hammer Contemporary Collection*. Capacity is limited. Visitors will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. **Danielle Dean** is an interdisciplinary artist and educator who works across video, sculpture, performance, and installation.
