details:
Ann Chamberlain's installations of paper and sculptural plaster elements link topography with drawn two-dimensional imagery. The nearly abstract fragments will address the sites of narrative: where things happened and where they might yet happen.
In a successful career highlighted by several renowned public art projects, Ann Chamberlain uses all manner of media available to her. In projects like the Healing Garden at UCSF Mt. Zion’s Women’s Health Center, where she turned a bleak concrete courtyard into an inviting lush garden for cancer patients, the artist creates permanent artwork and validates the histories of her subjects. Chamberlain’s accessible and inspiring histories of ordinary people bring the experience of art to unexpected places.
Formerly the program director at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Marin, Chamberlain is now a member of the faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Ann Chamberlain is completing a collaborative public art commission, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Memorial, on San Francisco’s Embarcadero. With landscape architect Walter Hood she is creating a translucent onyx wall etched with photographic images by Robert Capa, a tribute to the American volunteers who fought in the Spanish Civil War.
In another public art project, with fellow artist Bernie Lubell, Chamberlain is completing a commission at Laguna Honda Hospital composed of photographic light boxes and mosaic panels.
