Born in Peekskill, NY, I currently live in Brooklyn, New York and maintain a studio at The Elizabeth Foundation in Manhattan. I received a BFA from the State University of New York at Purchase (1994), and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago (1997).

For the past fifteen years, my work has explored abstraction. While the core of my work is paintings and drawings, I have recently begun to include large-scale installation, sculptural objects, video, sound, and animation

Since receiving my MFA in 1997 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, my work has been presented in over 100 gallery exhibitions, both nationally and internationally in Paris, Houston, Los Angeles, Berlin, Chicago, and New York. I have participated in numerous institution exhibitions including PS1/MOMA, The New Museum, The Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York, and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Several of my drawings have recently been purchased as part of the Contemporary Drawing Collection at the Museum of Modern Art, and my work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and The Weatherspoon Museum of Art in Greensboro, NC.

I have held three full time university positions at Cornell University, SUNY Purchase, and the City University of New York at Lehman College where I am now an Associate Professor of Art. I have been a visiting artist in over forty institutions including the Maryland Institute of Contemporary Art, Rhode Island School of Design, The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Ontario School of Art and Design, CCA in San Francisco, Brandeis University, Princeton University, Rice University. University of Houston, and others.

I am the recipient of several residencies and grants including TheYaddo Foudation (2012, 2009, and 2007), The Triangle Foundation Residency and Workshop (2012), Elizabeth Foundation in New York (2012-2006), The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Studio Residency at Governor’s Island (2012), Smack Mellon Studios and Artist Stipend

-----------------

Pop Utopia: My work consists mainly of brightly colored paintings based on underground blueprints, architectural plans, and technological drawings. Our society's technological and architectural advancements both delight and disgust us. As vehicles of desire and creative thought, they perform necessary functions for habitation and development. Our societal structures and technological advances are equally capable of empowering and disabling us. We have nuclear weapons, biological terrorism, population overcrowding and flight path congestion in every city, relying on beneficent safety measures to resist them. As subjects, I use biotechnological illustration charts, underground and air transportation paths, diagrams of plumbing and heating systems, and computer based technological images. I then transform them with vivid colors through painting and drawing. Starting with a diagrammatic base, I draw on paper or panel parts, then with the help of drafting tools and other materials such as colored pencil, markers and gouache, I create pseudo- systems that are a base for my seemingly abstract paintings. Through this transformation, I attempt to infuse my non- aesthetic subjects with a piercing beauty and a bit of humor. I am influenced by the drawings of architects such as Zaha Hadid, Paulo Solari, and the later work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The concept of beauty firmly grounded upon proportion, order, and color compels my art. The creative process enables me to understand the abstractions of human development and modern society's obsession with technology on my own terms.- Dannielle Tegeder
