Bio:
Dread Scott is a multidisciplinary artists who first received national attention in 1989 when his art became the center of controversy over its use of the American flag. President Bush (the first) declared his artwork “disgraceful” and the entire US Senate denounced it as they passed legislation to “protect the flag.” His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and at DeBeyerd Center for Contemporary Art in the Netherlands. He has been awarded a Mid Atlantic\NEA Regional Fellowship in Photography, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture and a Creative Capital grant.
