A photo of an opened tin box with the lid leaning against it against a gray background. The tin box is split into two cubes, each with a sphere inside. Inside the left cubicle the sphere appears light gray as if made of cement. Inside the right cubicle, the sphere is brown and appears to be made of a fibrous material. The lid, which faces the viewer, has the initials "AH" and "DI" inscribed with a series of small punctures made in the form of the letters.A photo looking down directly over an opened tin box with the lid leaning against it against a white background. The tin box is split into two cubes, each with a sphere inside. Inside the left cubicle the sphere is brown and appears to be made of a fibrous material, like straw or hair. In the right cubicle is an equal sized light gray sphere, possibly made of cement. The lid, which faces slightly away from the viewer, has the initials "AH" and "DI" inscribed with a series of small punctures made in the form of the letters.

Description

During David Ireland’s residency, the artist hand-built a series of “dumb balls,” made by tossing a handful of wet concrete back and forth from hand to hand over many hours until it hardened. In this collaboration with Ann Hamilton, Ireland’s ball is placed adjacent to a nearly identically sized sphere of horsehair, a material favored by Hamilton.

Ann Hamilton and David Ireland, in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.
