EVENT CANCELED

We have made the difficult decision out of an abundance of caution and in consultation with local, state, and federal experts and authorities to cancel the Artist Talk with Ann Hamilton, scheduled for Thursday, March 19. While disappointing to all of us, this action is consistent with decisions being made around a number of community and university events in response to COVID-19 virus concerns. We are confident this is the right decision. Our highest priority remains the health and safety of our community.

Thank you so much for your support of this decision. Please know we appreciate your continued enthusiasm and partnership surrounding the Weatherspoon Art Museum.

For continued updates from us, please visit the UNCG coronavirus website.

Location: Tew Recital Hall, UNCG School of Music.

Ann Hamilton is a visual artist known for her site-responsive and large-scale installations, public projects, and performance collaborations. Her ephemeral artworks are based in a career-long interest in felt experience as the basis for recognition and knowledge, as well as in the relationships between written language and tactile experience.

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 currently is a Distinguished University Professor of Art at The Ohio State University.

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