Embrace! April 1, 2010

Embrace! will officially open on November 14, but several artists are already working to transform the Hamilton Building with works of art created specifically for the dynamic spaces. Featuring seventeen new works in a range of media, Embrace! marks one of the largest exhibitions of site-specific commissions in a U.S. museum, including never-before-seen works from Katharina Grosse, El Anatsui, Shinique Smith, Matthew Brannon, Jessica Stockholder, Lawrence Weiner and Tobias Rehberger, among others. As Embrace! takes shape, visitors have had the rare opportunity to see some of the artists--including Nicola Lopez, Rick Dula and Katharina Grosse--creating their installations.
