Temporary installations are ubiquitous in art spaces today, but there is one artist whose mysterious and sensual room-sized works unsettle even the jaded viewer. In Ann Hamilton, art writer and independent curator Joan Simon offers an intensive guided tour of nearly two decades of projects that now exist only in the 300 evocative photographs that illustrate this book. Simon lucidly discusses Hamilton's explorations of time, language, and memory, beginning with the early pieces involving massive quantities of unlikely objects (a floor carpeted with thousands of pennies stuck in honey; a table covered with 14,000 human and animal teeth embedded in iron oxide) to the "slow emptying" of recent work in photography, video, and performance. While no book can re-create the complex of sounds, smells, and actions that make Hamilton's art so compelling, Simon helps those who have experienced some of the artist's works to understand their connection to the realm of ideas. --Cathy Curtis
From Library Journal
Hamilton's site-specific, multimedia installation pieces involve stunning arrangements and quantities of materials: a room lined with small canvas dummies, a table spread with human and animal teeth, or a floor covered in a "skin" of pennies and honey. These major works of art are almost always space- and time-sensitive, making this first comprehensive book on Hamilton, a MacArthur Fellow and internationally exhibited artist, all the more necessary. The former managing editor of Art in America and author of catalogs on numerous contemporary artists, Simon combines biographical information and interviews with discussions about the making of these pieces as well as their meaning. Her inviting introduction offers a succinct discussion of installation art, both in general and in relation to Hamilton's work, followed by a chronological presentation of her pieces. Meticulously illustrated with 300 photographs, this section begins in 1981 and ends with the now-running "mercy," a collaboration with Meredith Monk. The back matter, which is just as carefully planned and executed, includes a biographical chronology, a selected exhibition history, and more. Even those with little background in installation will gain access to the genre through the gorgeous photographs and in-depth text. Essential for all libraries with collections in contemporary art.
