Institution:

Ann Hamilton presented a lecture on her nearly 30-year career as part of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Lecture Series at the National Gallery of Art on September 16, 2011. Hamilton has made multimedia installations with stunning qualities and quantities of materials: a room lined with small canvas dummies, a table spread with human and animal teeth, the artist herself wearing a man's suit covered in a layer of thousands of toothpicks. Along the way, she has constantly set and reset the course of contemporary art.

The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989
January 30–April 19, 2009

The Guggenheim invited Ann Hamilton, one of the exhibition artists in The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989, to create a work to respond to the show’s themes. What she created was human carriage, a site-specific installation that descends the museum’s spiraling rotunda several times a day, filling the space with the faint sound of Tibetan cymbals she attached to the carriage.
