Prompted by a passage from "The Autobiography of Cecil B. DeMille" in which the filmmaker recounts the demolition of the masterful sets created for the epic 1923 film "The Ten Commandments," artist Daniel R. Small embarked on an archaeological project of gargantuan proportions. The colossal film set, which was loosely modeled on the ancient Egyptian city of Pi-Ramesses, was left by the director to decay in the sands of Guadalupe, California, just north of Santa Barbara. Concerned that other directors might use the set for their own films, DeMille had it destroyed and buried. The cultural materials that have since been recovered at the site by Small, archaeologists, and local historians are the products of decades of accumulation, their meaning and provenance infused with speculation and fantasy. The installation of Small's "Excavation II" at the Hammer includes materials and artifacts unearthed by the artist as well as loans from such entities the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center, a local Napa Auto Parts store, and descendants of an actor cast in the original film. "Excavation II" also draws parallels between the production design for the 1923 film and the decor conceived for the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas seventy years later—murals which adorn the walls of this gallery. #LAInstaFling #MuseumInstaSwap #HammerMuseum @hammer_museum #LACMA #MadeinLA2016 #DanielRSmall #CecilBDemille #TheTenCommandments #Egypt #filmmaking
