An Evening with Dana Schutz
Thursday, March 3, 2011 

Artist Talk at 7:00 pm, Reception at 9:00 pm
Fine Arts | UWAG

The University of Waterloo Department of Fine Art is proud to present an artist talk and reception for New York based painter Dana Schutz. The event will take place in the newly renovated University of Waterloo Art Gallery—UWAG. This presentation acknowledges Dana Schutz’s participation as one of three international artists who hosted graduate candidates from the Department of Fine Art MFA program during the 2010 Shantz Internship.
Dana Schutz’s paintings have garnered international attention during the past decade and she is considered amongst the most influential contemporary painters. While her work is representational, Schutz explodes the boundaries of the figurative genre. Populated by recognizable and yet fantastical characters that are often juxtaposed in awkward circumstances, her images blur the line between realism and the unfettered imagination. Her paintings captures an idiosyncratic and often disconcerting world view that encapsulates horror, humour and humanity. Dana Schutz is represented by Zach Feuer, New York.

This free presentation will be followed by an informal reception.
