Context

Zuckerman-Hartung challenges traditional ways of thinking about painting and forges a new path within the medium. She carefully questions the power and agency of the individual artist or artwork. Her work takes on a performative quality as she manipulates the materials, introducing objects such as CDs and photo slides as her works break from the two dimensional frame.
