Diana Thater has been at the forefront of her medium since her graduation from ArtCenter in 1990. Her work in film, video and installation has been internationally recognized. In her 35-year career she has been the subject of 92 solo exhibitions and has participated in over 200 group exhibitions. She has produced eight monographs and has received numerous fellowships, grants and awards including her most recent award - The Trellis Art Prize - announced in July of this year. Thater has just returned from a shoot at Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny. The film and video shot on location will become a large-scale permanent outdoor installation commissioned for the new LACMA campus. Tonight she will preview this new project, as well as some of her recent work, and will discuss her wide-range of interests and inspirations. Her presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
A private reception will proceed the presentation from 1-2 in the Faculty Dining Room, Hillside Campus (Members Only)
