Kemper Art Museum: Friday, 5 February 2010
Public Opening: 7-9 pm
Sharon Lockhart: Lunch Break
Contemporary artist Sharon Lockhart is well known for her films and photographs that often explore social subject matter. To create the works in Lunch Break, Lockhart spent one year in Bath, Maine, at the Bath Iron Works shipyard-a private sector US naval shipbuilding company-observing and engaging with workers during their daily routines. The resultant film installations and series of photographs focus on the activities of these workers during their time off from production.
Allison Smith: Needle Work
Allison Smith's work draws on "living history" museums, battlegrounds, and most recently the Internet to explore gendered conventions of craft, constructions of national identity, and experiences of violence. Needle Work centers on Smith's recreation of European and American gas masks from World War I and World War II, and includes staged photographs with the masks and images of the masks on silk parachutes printed by Washington University's Island Press.
