2012.423 CONLON HARKER
By Bree Richards
‘Everyday Magic’ September 2013
Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker have been collaborating on video projects since 2006. Their process developed out of a shared interest in using video to document the small gestures that reinterpret aspects of everyday life and our relationship with the environment. Here, plastic spoons become makeshift catapults launching plastic bottle caps at a hole in a concrete platform, playing out the artists’ interest in using waste materials and games to explore consumption and pollution. The location was once part of a United States military installation during its occupation of the Panama Canal Zone. The structure now functions as an observation deck in Panama City’s Metropolitan National Park, one of the surviving fragments of forest in the area.
