Anne Wilson: Anatomy of Wear

About the Exhibition

Chicago-based artist Anne Wilson incorporates human hair and used domestic fabric in her work to explore issues of memory, gender, domestic life, and the body. Wilson sews hair into cloth, focusing on stains, holes and rips. This first museum exhibition of her work features a new installation work called Feast, in which fragments of cloth are edged with hair and pinned to a tablelike structure, as well as two works from the MCA Collection, Hair Work (1991–93) and Grafts #2 (1993).

The exhibition was curated by Hattie Gordon, Marjorie and Louis Susman Curatorial Fellow.
