GRANVILLE, Ohio—Multi-media artist Ann Hamilton, a distinguished professor of art at Ohio State University, will give an artist talk at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, in the auditorium of Denison University’s Herrick Hall (500 West Loop).

 Hamilton, an internationally renowned visual artist, creates sensory large-scale multimedia installations. 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. Her recent installation, “the event of a thread,” commissioned by Park Avenue Armory, was selected by the International Association of Art Critics United States as the best project in a public space in 2012.

Among her many honors are the MacArthur Fellowship (Genius Award), Heinz Award, United States Artists Fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Fellowship, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture and the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. She has represented the United States in the 1991 Sao Paulo Biennial and the 1999 Venice Biennale.
