One of the few contemporary artists internationally recognized for work in both film and photography, Sharon Lockhart seeks out the quiet moments of everyday life in order, among other things, to explore the relationship between the two mediums. Whereas her photographic work often involves staging techniques reminiscent of filmmaking, her films tend to make salient the photographic qualities of the moving image. Recent solo-exhibition venues include Gladstone Gallery in New York City, Blum & Poe in Los Angeles, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Secession in Vienna, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (Minnesota, USA). Film screenings include such major international venues as the New York Film Festival, the Vienna International Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival. A fully illustrated catalogue for her recent exhibition Lunch Break is forthcoming in February 2010. An alumna of SFAI, Lockhart lives and works in Los Angeles.
