Dread Scott
Via New York, NY, USA
Dread Scott is an interdisciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. For three decades he has made work that encourages viewers to re-examine cohering norms of American society. In 1989, the entire U.S. Senate denounced and outlawed one of his artworks and President Bush declared it “disgraceful” because of its use of the American flag. His art has been exhibited or performed at MoMA PS1, Pori Art Museum (Finland), the Brooklyn Academy of Music and galleries and street corners across the country. He is a recipient of grants from the Creative Capital Foundation and the Pollock Krasner Foundation, and his work is included in the collection of the Whitney Museum.
