Hilary Harp

Hilary Harp creates sculptures, installations, and media projects that explore new hybrid forms and challenge categories, particularly categories of high and low, male and female, technology and craft. She has exhibited her work widely, including at Gale Gates Gallery (NY), Sculpture Center (NY), White Columns (NY), Esso Gallery (NY), Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, Philadelphia Art Alliance (PA), Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial (PA), and Bucheon Gallery (SF), among others. She has been an artist in residence at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Arts/Industry at Kohler Co., and Djerassi Resident Artists Program. Since 2003 she has collaborated with Suzie Silver on a range of projects, and their single-channel videos have screened at over one hundred festivals on four continents and are distributed by the Video Data Bank.

Harp’s awards include a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, a Heinz Creative Heights Grant, and an Arizona Commission on the Arts Project Grant. Recent collaborations between Harp and Barry Moon integrate interactivity and data-visualization in sound sculptures. Harp is an associate professor of sculpture at Arizona State University. She earned a BFA in sculpture at Parsons School of Design, an MFA from Tyler School of Art, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
