Bio
Dana DeGiulio’s work in painting, drawing, video, installation, writing, and teaching pits materiality against representation and tries to ask the means what the ends are. She conducts an iterative perceptual painting practice and is interested in genre as a site to play out the dialectic of defiance and allegiance, in repetition as devotion, habit, and estrangement, in attention as volatile, volitional, and market rate, and in looking away as a form of care.
DeGiulio (b. 1978 Chicago Heights, IL) studied at SAIC, worked at Blick during undergrad, tended bar in Iowa, delivered pizza and worked customer service at a university bookstore in Wisconsin, stocked refrigerator shelves at Whole Foods for 7 years after grad school, and has taught visual art to graduate and undergraduate students for 18 years, for the last 11 at NYU and Columbia University. She is now, as of this fall, an Associate Professor of Painting at RISD.
