Scott Reeder (b. 1970, Battle Creek, MI; lives in Chicago, IL) is a multidisciplinary artist who uses deadpan humor and cultural critique to expose the absurdity of life. Reeder draws from the traditions of still-life painting to project emotional affect and social relationships onto inanimate objects, such as the bread and butter seen in this work, which he paints in brightly colored, cartoon-like settings. He first became known for his text-based paintings and parodies of process painting, as well as for his film Moon Dust and his possibly ironic art fairs, the Milwaukee International and Dark Fair. The MCA has exhibited Reeder’s work, and other institutions that have shown his work include John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI; CANADA, New York; Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York; 356 Mission, Los Angeles; Marlborough, New York; Lisa Cooley, New York; Kavi Gupta, Chicago and Berlin; Luce Gallery, Torino, Italy; Daniel Reich Gallery, New York; and Jack Hanley, San Francisco, among others.
