Scott Reeder (artist)

Scott Reeder (born 1970, Battle Creek, MI) is a multi-disciplinary artist in Chicago, IL.[1] He is currently represented by Canada in New York, NY and Kavi Gupta in Chicago, IL.

Biography

Reeder is currently an associate professor of painting and drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[2] Reeder is best known for his irreverent take on modernism and memorable titles like 'Money in Bed' and 'Symmetrical Pirate.' A book of his Reeder's work, Scott Reeder: Ideas (cont.) was published by Mousse Publishing in 2019.

In 2002, with his brother Tyson Reeder, they established the storefront gallery General Store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[3] General Store curated the exhibitions Drunk vs. Stoned (2004) and Drunk vs. Stoned 2 (2005) at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York, and The Early Show (2005) at White Columns, New York.[4][5][6] The Reeders also organized the Dark Fair, an art fair operated in a black-walled space lit only with candlelight, at the Swiss Institute Contemporary Art New York in 2008 and as part of Art Cologne in 2009.[7] Scott and Tyson Reeder additionally operate Club Nutz, billed as the world’s smallest comedy club. First established in a small 8’ x 8’ room adjacent to the Green Gallery in Milwaukee, Club Nutz has traveled to the Frieze Art Fair in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Salon 94 in New York to host open-mics, dance parties, screenings, and lectures.[8]

Exhibitions

Reeder currently has a solo exhibition, Didactic Sunsets, on view at Canada in New York, NY. In 2014, he debuted his first feature-length film, Moon Dust, shot over the span of eleven years.[9] Set 100 years in the future, Moon Dust tells the absurd and sometimes heartbreaking story of a failing resort on the moon. Moon Dust has screened at Anthology Film Archives, NY, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway. In March 2019, Reeder opened an exhibition titled “B-Side of the Moon” at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, Wi. This exhibition facilitated the production of a feature length film; a sequel to Reeder’s first feature Moon Dust. Reeder’s paintings and projects have been reviewed in Artforum, Art & Text, Art Review, FlashArt, Frieze, The New York Times, Art News, Art In America, TimeOut, The Village Voice and The New Yorker.
