ART-OAT-HAM

Orgin:

USA

Field Notes:

Textiles dust sound and repetitive actions build atmospheres where bodies register time as material

Defining Moment:

The large scale installations with falling paper flour or newsprint where accumulation and descent draw architecture as a lived field

(

1956–

an ham-il-ton

Hamilton built a world where textile, voice, dust, and motion create enveloping atmospheres — installations that register presence as tremor.

Her works reveal touch as architecture.

Structural Focus

Process as Form

The method of making defines the structure. Repetition, accumulation, or procedure becomes the visible logic of the work.

In Ann Hamilton’s work, this approach appears where duration, labor, and bodily presence generate structure through accumulation rather than object.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Social Practice

Art operates through participation and social systems.

Conceptual Art

Language, instruction, and proposition function as the work itself.
