Arts/Industry: Pottery, 2013
Dan Price lives and works in Chicago, IL where he is Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He holds a B.A. in Fine Art from the Colorado College and a M.F.A. in Sculpture with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design. Price has exhibited his videos and sculpture at the Kennedy Museum in Athens, Ohio, Triple Candie Gallery, New York; White Columns Gallery, New York; Angstrom Gallery in Los Angeles and at the Rhode Island School of Design Art Museum in Providence, RI.
Price has been artist-in-residence at Art Omi in New York, Can Serrat in Spain, Elsewhere in Greensboro, NC and the Banff Centre in Canada.
Price uses a variety of materials in his work, including metal, wood, and photography. He uses methods of pattern, organization, and modularity in order to understand and illustrate the relationship of structure to memory – particularly the slippage between personal memory and institutional record. His project at Kohler investigates logics of pattern and interruption in material systems such as Montessori’s Sensory Materials and her ‘Control of Error’ theory.
