[Paula Harmon]

Film Video Candidate Hope Tucker will give a presentation "Hope Tucker 
Presents the Obituary Project" on Tuesday, March 11 at 12 noon in the 
Jerome Liebling Center classroom 131.  Students are invited to lunch 
with Hope Tucker  at the dining commons following the presentation.

American artist Hope Tucker transforms what we know as a daily form of 
narrative through THE OBITUARY PROJECT, a compendium of moving image 
that gives new life to the documentary practice of salvage ethnography. 
Tucker has animated cyanotypes of downwinders and instructions for 
making fishing nets by hand; recorded mobile phone footage of the last 
public phone booths of Finland; written the text of a video out of paper 
clips, a Norwegian symbol of nonviolent resistance; and retraced the 
path of protest that closed the only nuclear power plant in Austria. 
Works from the project have recently screened at 21er Haus, Vienna; Ann 
Arbor Film Festival; International Film Festival, Rotterdam; Views from 
the Avant Garde at the New York Film Festival; Punto de Vista, Pamplona; 
Zagreb Dox.www.theobituaryproject.org <http://www.theobituaryproject.org>
