The Artist in Place is a year-long exploration of place and its relationship to the work of the artist. Through field study of evocative locales, observation, reading, writing, reflection, and thoughtful discussion, we will build a direct understanding of the place where we live and examine its impact on the work we do.

Library Art
Ann Hamilton's Untitled piece is an ideal installation at a library. Its jumble of carved multilingual quotes and phrases can be overwhelming, but it is also a fascinating display of the variety of language. My favorite part about this creation is that it is easily overlooked. If one was in a rush, the intricate carvings on the floor could easily be overlooked. Yet, if you would just take the time to pay attention to the vast detail before you, you would very pleased with what Ann's work of art holds in store.
