Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to present paired exhibitions by two artists who have been friends and collaborators. Ann Hamilton and David Ireland (1930–2009) each restored spaces in the Headlands Center for the Arts in the 1970′s and collaborated on an exhibition in 1992 at the Walker Art Center. Both artists explored the beauty of activities and materials characterized by simplicity and repetition.
In 1994 Hamilton made a collaborative work with Ireland for the Fabric Workshop, a tin box containing two spheres: one a ball of wound horsehair made by her, one, a dumbball, Ireland’s signature object of concrete set up by passing a clump of cement back and forth for hours.
The exhibition is both an opportunity to see new work by Hamilton and a series of never-exhibited works by Ireland, painting-like flat works on paper, cloth and screens which he made from dirt, cement and pigment in the 70′s.
To complement the hand-made works by Ireland, Hamilton has chosen to show clapclap, a video projection produced at the Pulitzer Foundation, along with papier-mache hands.
