Ann Hamilton
In my most recent meeting with Bebe regarding my MFA Project, she suggested that I look at a work by Ann Hamilton that took place in a library. I was unable to find that particular link, but stumbled upon this one and found Hamilton’s words very inspiring. I found her descriptions and explanations very human or humanizing and I could relate to the way she brought in her personal history and the way that she is taking in the world. Convergences and borders, technologies, moments between, how we pay attention, things that are seemingly simple, calling into question, taste and touch, perceptions….these are interests and questions I like to explore through dance. Since I have been pursuing my MFA, I have wanted to take a seminar course with her in the Department of Art, which she co-teaches with Michael Mercil, but unfortunately, I have not and will not have the opportunity before I graduate in June. This talk seems like some consolation.
