Her site-responsive process works with common materials to invoke particular places, collective voices, and communities of labor. Noted for a dense accumulation of materials, her ephemeral environments create immersive experiences that poetically respond to the architectural presence and social history of their sites. Whether inhabiting a building four stories high or confined to the surface of a thimble, the genesis of Hamilton's art extends outwards from the primary projections of the hand and mouth. Her attention to the uttering of a sound or the shaping of a word with the hand places language and text at the tactile and metaphoric centre of her installations. To enter their liminality is to be drawn equally into the sensory and linguistic capacities of comprehension that construct our faculties of memory, reason and imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42834099568898,"sku":"BK-PRE-AHH-001-A","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_5207_08e6f7c4-50c0-44ea-80ea-cb830096f360.jpg?v=1791471287"},{"product_id":"the-thames-hudson-dictionary-of-photography","title":"The Thames \u0026 Hudson Dictionary of Photography","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNathalie Herschdorfer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21.08 x 4.57 x 31.5 cm | 440 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThames and Hudson | 2015 | \u003c\/span\u003e9780500544471\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA comprehensive, accessible and authoritative illustrated reference to the history, art and science of photography - a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e single, elegant volume, featuring over 300 iconic photographs and more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough much information can today be found online, locating it takes time and sources can have questionable provenance and uncertain academic credentials.

Spiritual, moral and sexual themes run through his work, as well as ruminations on memory and mortality.

The analysis of the L.A. art scene from the end of World War II until the beginning of the 1980s - the first in-depth scholarly survey of the region's art - demonstrates the major role Southern California artists played in the twentieth century's most influential art movements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrounded in more than a decade of research, the five chapters augmented by lively sidebars take readers on a tour of an art world in constant formation. The story unfolds through the people, relationships, and ideas that defined the region's artistic production. Photographs and rare materials from the Getty Research Institute and other archives bring the era to life, opening a window onto the emergence of hardedge abstraction, ceramic sculpture, assemblage, pop art, conceptualism, performance art, and avant-garde practices that blurred boundaries and defied labels. The result is an indispensable resource that will fundamentally change the view of modern art in America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Getty Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45705863561474,"sku":"BK-GET-PST-001-R","price":7.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_3245_4dd49a53-8e69-4ab2-8d58-1148d533dff2.jpg?v=1791470909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/collections\/coffee-table-books.oembed","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
