Experience
HARRIET BART creates evocative content through the narrative power of objects, the theater of installation, and the intimacy of artists' books. She has a deep and abiding interest in the personal and cultural expression of memory - it is at the core of her work. Using bronze and stone, wood and paper, books and words, everyday and found objects, Bart's work signifies a site, marks an event, as it draws attention to imprints of the past as they live in the present.
BART'S many works have been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Germany. She has completed more than a dozen public art commissions in the United States, Japan, and Israel. She is a guest lecturer, curator, and founding member of the Traffic Zone Center for Visual Arts in Minneapolis, MN. Bart has published eight artist's books and has been the recipient of two Minnesota Book Awards.
