Embrace! brings 17 world-renowned artists to DAM where each one has created an unconventional installation “embracing” the unique lines and spaces of the Museum’sFrederic C. Hamilton Building.
“Curators, educators, and designers have lived with this building for three years and have seen their proposals take shape here,” says Christoph Heinrich, curator of the show and soon to be the DAM’s new director. “Now, artists are taking over. Embrace! invites them to explore the structure, and in so doing celebrates a kind of second opening of the Hamilton Building.”
The students helped with several of the installations including Tobias Rehberger’s where they readied more than 7,500 bungee cords to be applied in a maze-like interactive piece. Other students worked with Christian Hahn on his intricate murals and Rick Dula on his photorealistic paintings of the Hamilton Building’s construction.
It was a great learning and networking opportunity for the students, and a chance to see the work that goes into a large-scale museum installation.
