Landmarks, The University of Texas at Austin’s public art program, unveiled ONEEVERYONE, a community-based photography project by Ann Hamilton on January 27, 2017. A site-responsive commission for the university’s Dell Medical School, the installation includes 65 porcelain enamel portrait panels, a 900-page book designed by Hamilton that will circulate freely, and a website for the public to download her images and read corresponding texts. Hamilton photographed more than 500 volunteers in various Austin locations, making this the largest ONEEVERYONE portrait series developed to date. To complement the unveiling, an exhibition at the university’s Visual Arts Center (VAC) will feature a selection of smaller portraits and offer an examination of the artist’s process (January 27 to February 24, 2017). The commission of Hamilton’s work was initiated by Landmarks, one of the most important public art programs to emerge at an American university. On view throughout Austin’s 433-acre main campus, the Landmarks collection includes works by Michael Ray Charles, Mark di Suvero, David Ellis, Sol LeWitt, Marc Quinn, Ben Rubin, Nancy Rubins, and James Turrell. Landmarks’ public art collection is broadly accessible and free to all, providing opportunities for students and visitors to engage with great works of art.
