Sharon Lockhart: Lunch Break and the Lunch Break Times at the Colby Museum of Art

WATERVILLE, ME.- The Colby College Museum of Art presents a special installation of the exhibition Sharon Lockhart: Lunch Break that includes a group of works by other artists and artisans displayed in conjunction with works from Lockhart’s Lunch Break project. The opening of the exhibition coincides with the release of the Lunch Break Times, a special-edition newspaper conceived of by Lockhart for the Maine communities involved in the making of Lunch Break. Los Angeles-based artist Sharon Lockhart creates films and photographs that are at once rigorously formal and deeply humanistic, meticulously observing the details of everyday life while also exploring the limits and intersections between the two mediums. In 2008, Lockhart spent the year in Maine, a state she associates with her childhood and where much of her family lives. During this year, she visited factories, farms, and industrial sites.
