2008 Artist Projects Recipients Hilary Harp – Eldorado. The artist, with collaborator Suzie Silver, will create a 20-minute non-narrative video about a space station where aliens meet in a nightclub. Funding will go toward producing a series of 5 one-minute stop-motion sequences. This project is an extension of feminist science fiction, in which criticism of gendered subjectivity leads to the invention of more plural and heterogeneous social relations. Harp is an assistant professor of sculpture at Arizona State University, and Silver is an associate professor in the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University. Harp lives in Tempe. Panel Comments: Harp is an international artist at the edge of innovation in video production. The theme of aliens and eroticism, the politics of this theme, are sophisticatedly integrated into the imagery. The work is very inventive, as a viewer, you can’t disengage. We are really excited about this proposal. Harp and Silver are two very talented artists. We can’t wait to see this project.
