Artist Talk: Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker

Artist collaborators Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker join José Roca, Estrellita B. Brodsky Curator-at-Large of Latin American and Diasporic Art at the Hirshhorn Museum, for a virtual conversation exploring the artists’ often humorous yet powerful video works that turn a critical eye toward social, cultural, and political topics. Conlon and Harker have worked together since 2006. They create playful video artworks that address important environmental and sociopolitical issues, especially in Panama, where they live and work. Their 2013 work Tropical Zincphony recently entered the Hirshhorn’s collection. The video plays with a typical scenario in Panama—a mango falling on a corrugated zinc roof—to explore the roles of unpredictability and improvisation in life in the tropics.
