ANN HAMILTON
near-away, 2013
Slices of paperback books, cheese cloth, string,
bookbinders glue, newsprint, methyl cellulose, steel wire
#6 from a series of 26 unique pairings
19.5 x 23 x 3.25 inches


near-away pairs artifacts from two previous installations: the husk of a hand shaped by paper from stylus, a 2010 project at The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, and the sliced book fragments re-bound as counterweights in the 2009 project human carriage, “The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia: 1860-1989” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

The placement of the “hand” adjacent to the “book weight” expresses what changes us the most: the “hand” through the physical change of being  “touched” and the “book weight” through the mental change brought on through reading.

Diane Landry: by every wind that blows

November 9, 2013 – March 2, 2014

Curated by Raphaela Platow & Steven Matijcio

Celebrated Canadian artist Diane Landry translates everyday items and mechanical systems into mystical meditations on life, death and our relationship with technology. Turning the mundane into the wondrous, everything from water bottles and laundry hampers to bed frames and plastic cutlery are imbued with unexpected life. Like a scrapyard version of Disney’s Fantasia, Landry’s automated actors expand the basic functions of her respective materials – allowing their shadows to dance hypnotically across gallery walls. Whether these works speak to the sins of disposable culture or the untapped promise of the everyday, her mechanized entities inspire a magical re-evaluation of the material world.

Landry’s CAC exhibition will feature the U.S. debut of her newest installation Exhaustion: a chandelier-like form (made of plastic forks & knives) that floats up and down like a colossal jellyfish. The show also highlights some of her most notable works from the past decade, including swelling mandalas made from plastic water bottles and laundry hampers, as well as chiming bedframes and videos that measure time through the lens of the artist. As a special feature, Landry will perform one of these works during the November 9^th opening – paddling a suspended canoe through plastic sheet waves high above the CAC lobby.
