Opening Reception for habitus
4pm - 8pm
An opening reception for Ann Hamilton's multi-venue exhibition habitus will be held on September 16 at two locations: The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) and Municipal Pier 9 on the Delaware River waterfront. habitus weaves text, textile, and image together as mediums for an imaginative and tactile exchange between artist and audience.
From September 16, 2016 through January 8, 2017, FWM will display a selection of historical objects curated by Hamilton, including literature, textiles, dolls, and needlework portfolios, borrowed from Philadelphia museums and public collections. Hamilton's installation at Municipal Pier 9 (September 6–October 10, 2016) will propel visitors into an immersive atmosphere of massive cylindrical curtains, inviting audiences to touch and be touched by the fabric of human experience.
