Diana Thater

(American, born 1962)

Diana Thater is a contemporary American artist whose pioneering video and installation works include Delphine (1999) and Chernobyl (2005). Through her work, Thater addresses manifold environmental and social topics, such as humanity’s relationship to nature and the threat of extinction. “I think about nature and sculpt with images of space. I ask questions about reconstructing subjectivity, using nature and sometimes animals as my models,” she has explained. Born on May 14, 1962 in San Francisco, CA, she received her BA in art history from New York University in 1984 and her MFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA in 1990. Since her first solo exhibition in 1991, Thater’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions worldwide, including “The Sympathetic Imagination,” which opened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2015. Her works are held in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. The artist currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
