Ann Hamilton: "the event of a thread" | Art21 "Extended Play"
Ойын-сауық
Episode #177: From Manhattan's Park Avenue Armory, artist Ann Hamilton discusses her installation, "the event of a thread" (2012), which occupied the Armory's cavernous drill hall. Hamilton, whose artwork often deals with the connection between text and textiles, was present at the Armory every day during the installation's one-month run.
During that time she was able to witness the various ways visitors chose to engage with the different though interconnected elements of the artwork. "It's very intimate, and yet, it's very large and anonymous-this quality of solitude and being in a congregation or group of people," says Hamilton. "The feeling of that is actually very comforting, and something that we need."
Ann Hamilton's work is a unique blend of performance, photography, video, textiles, and sculpture. Best known for her sensual, environmental installations, Hamilton's work often combine sensory elements of sound, taste, smell and touch. She is as interested in verbal and written language as she is in the visual, and sees the two as related and mutable elements.

I attended the last day of this event in January 2013. The experience was so magical. I went with my sister and we couldn't stop feeling like we were in heaven. Time didn't exist there.
In the presence of Hamilton's wonderful installation, it becomes obvious that art has the power to transport us to a place where we become one with the Cosmic Smile. If this installation is ever re-created I will be lying on my back underneath that billowing cloth curtain. Obliterated in a wonderful reverie.
A truly beautiful and transformational work. Love the use of light strips to delineate swing zones.
