Harmony Hammond (b.1944) is an artist, writer, and curator. A leading figure in the development of the feminist art movement in New York in the early 1970s, she attended the University of Minnesota from 1963–67, before moving to New York in 1969. She was a co-founder of A.I.R., the first women’s cooperative art gallery in New York (1972) and "Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art & Politics" (1976). Since 1984, Hammond has lived and worked in northern New Mexico, teaching at the University of Arizona, Tucson, from 1989–2006. Hammond’s earliest feminist work combined gender politics with post-minimal concerns of materials and process, frequently occupying a space between painting and sculpture.
Jarrett Earnest is a writer, curator and editor living in New York City. He is the author of "What it Means to Write About Art: Interviews with Art Critics" (2018) and "Valid Until Sunset" (2023) as well as the host of "Angelic Transmissions" an art talk show on East Village Radio. His essays have appeared in publications and exhibition catalogs around the world, and regularly in the New York Review of Books.
