I am embarrassed to admit that I don't know very much about Ann Hamilton, and actually, this information may not even be about the same artist. The Ann Hamilton I know of is an installation artist, although I have seen some of her video work. The Headlands Center for the Arts is a collection of repurposed military buildings in the Marin Headlands, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and out towards the Pacific Ocean. One of the most stunning parts of the complex is the mess hall, where resident artists eat five nights a week and the public can eat when there are public programs. It is a fantastic place to cook and bake, and Hamilton designed that space in 1989: http://www.headlands.org/About/MessHall.shtml She had a piece in the Carnegie International art show in Pittsburgh a few years ago that was, if memory serves, a very long white wall that had rivulets of water trickling down it; might not sound like much, but to see it and spend some time with it was rewarding. Also found a review of a show at the San Jose Museum of Art from last year where here work is discussed in the context of thirty years of installation art: http://mitpress2.mit.edu/e-journals/Leonardo/reviews/oct2000/ex_BLUR_rapop.html --Eric

Gregg: I think ( I think) she was a featured artist photographer at SPOLETO in Charleston a number of years ago 1998 or 1997 if I remember correctly... you may be able to find something written about her on google. Wendy Garfinkel

I happened to watch a program on PBS last night that included an interview with Ann Hamilton and shows her making pinhole photos with a mouth camera. She states that she devised this method over several years. Eric Renner lists Thomas Bachler as doing this in 1986, in his book. Bachler actually used his mouth as the camera, where Hamilton puts a camera into her mouth. Does anyone know anything about Ann Hamilton? - just curious. Gregg From the Pinhole Diary ( www.???/diary/ ): Program 2 of the PBS series Art:21 (Spirituality) includes a segment on artist Ann Hamilton, who works with threads in life through installations, videos, performances, and pinhole photography. I devised, over a number of years (it was sort of something that was in the background for a long time) a way of making pinhole cameras, which is very simple, but to make my mouth the aperture. - Ann Hamilton The PBS web site includes an interview and video clip about her pinhole photographs.
