Ann Hamilton's lecture

A few hours ago I had the opportunity to enjoy one of the most interesting lectures that I ever had in my life. Ann Hamilton is an internationally acclaimed artist who works with both performance and installation. Her work is experiential, immersive, conceptually rich and visually amazing. Each of Hamilton's installation works is responsive to a particular architectural space, and each requires a performance from the artist and the audience. That interaction transforms the space into poetry, and poetry into art. My favorite installation was the one filled the volume of the space with sound, light, and millions of sheets of paper that will fall from the ceiling. Amazing! ..If you went, let me know your favorite!
