Loretta Harms works across media: painting, drawing, filmmaking, installation and curation. Her interactive installation WOMEN WHO ROCK ! appeared at the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal, Times Square during Women's History Month.
Harms' penchant for referencing popular culture parallels her trajectory from artist to filmmaker. Her installation 'Runaway Train' (Boston Center for the Arts) interjected viewers into filmic sequencing long before augmented reality. 'Splicing' into Hitchcock's 'Marnie' the viewer tracked freeze frames, sound loops, traveled train tracks and mirrored footpaths. Initially alluding to film processes, Harms' was quickly drawn into narrative filmmaking.
Most recently, she Executive Produced/Produced the Sony Classics released LAMBERT & STAMP (Directed by James D. Cooper). A 'definitive bio on THE WHO and it's rock operatic rise' (Variety). The film features aspiring filmmakers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, the unlikely duo whose propulsive force as managers birthed the band THE WHO.
Loretta's films and installations have distributed nationwide and internationally through outlets including Sony Classics, Lionsgate, Starz, SkyTV, HBO, PBS; at ICP, MFABoston, BMOCA and Kunsthalle/Munich.
