Due to potential weather impact from Hurricane Michael, UNCG is closing at 2pm. All classes and planned events for this evening are CANCELLED. The Ann Hamilton Lecture will be rescheduled. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but we know that you understand that safety is of the utmost importance.

This event is free. No ticket required. 

Ann Hamilton (b. Lima Ohio, 1956) is a visual artist known for her site responsive large scale installations, public projects, and performance collaborations.  Her ephemeral projects are based in her career-long interest in felt experience as the basis for recognition and knowledge and in the relationships between written language and tactile experience, cloth and body, motion and stillness.

Hamilton has received the National Medal of Arts, MacArthur Fellowship, Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, NEA Visual Arts Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship, the Heinz Award, and was selected to represent the United States at the 1991 Sao Paulo Biennial and the 1999 Venice Biennale.

She received a BFA in textile design from the University of Kansas in 1979 and an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale University School of Art in 1985. Hamilton currently lives in Columbus, Ohio where she is Distinguished University Professor of Art at The Ohio State University.

This talk is made possible by the University Concert & Lecture Series, the UNC Greensboro School of Art, and the Weatherspoon Art Museum.
