Seth Price
(American, born 1973)
Biography
Seth Price is a contemporary American artist and writer whose multi-disciplinary work explores the immense transformation digital technology has wrought on the meaning of art and artists in society. Melding materials such as canvas and dibond, with appropriated monikers of capitalism—including UBS, Coca Cola, Photoshop, and FDIC—Price confronts the duplicitous economy of the art market and its whims. “The problem arises when the constellation of critique, publicity, and discussion around the work is at least as charged as a primary experience of the work. Does one have an obligation to view the work first-hand?” the artist asks in his essay Dispersion (2002). “What happens when a more intimate, thoughtful, and enduring understanding comes from mediated representations of an exhibition, rather than from a direct experience of the work? Is it incumbent upon the consumer to bear witness, or can one’s art experience derive from magazines, the Internet, books, and conversation?” Born on December 20, 1973 in East Jerusalem, Israel, he received his BA from Brown University in 1997. In the early 2000s, the artist began lecturing at a number of colleges, including his alma mater, MIT, and Harvard University. He was included in the 2002 and 2008 Whitney Biennial, and has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions around the world. Price currently lives and works in New York, NY.
