Bio:
Dread Scott is a multidisciplinary artist whose work addresses questions that are part of the public discourse. He first received national attention in 1989 when his art became the center of controversy over its use of the American flag. President Bush Sr. declared his artwork What is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag? disgraceful and the entire US Senate denounced this work when they passed legislation to protect the flag.
His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Robert Miller Gallery in New York and at DeBeyerd Center for Contemporary Art in the Netherlands. He has appeared on numerous TV shows including Oprah and The Today Show and his work has been written about in many publications. Roberta Smith, art critic for the New York Times, has described a recent work as quite resonant. He has been awarded a Mid AtlanticaNEA Regional Fellowship in Photography, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture, a Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellowship and a Creative Capital grant. His work is in the collection of the New Museum of Contemporary Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
