In conjunction with the exhibition Hammer Projects: Erik van Lieshout (2006).

During December 2006 and January 2007, Dutch artist Erik van Lieshout spent eight weeks in Los Angeles as a Hammer artist-in-residence, accompanied by his friend, collaborator, and editor Core Vanderhoeven. Together the two men explored Los Angeles, and these travels were largely captured on video. The footage was edited into a new work, Guantanamo Baywatch (2007), now in the Hammer Collection. This video features clips from Guantanamo Baywatch (2007) and an audio interview with the artist in which he describes how the residency affected his process.
