Bio
When Canadian artist Wendy DesChene graduated with an MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art, her work immediately began to incorporate materials that would support her activist concepts. Weary of the limitations placed on art by institutions, she began to incorporate the audience into her installations. The outcome was a community collaborative exhibition entitled WYSIWYG, which has toured to 11 different communities, including the Art League of Houston, Minnesota State University, the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and The Henry Street Settlement in NY. Other collaborative-based projects have also shown at the Soap Factory in MN, and Tomio Koyama Gallery, Japan. As a consequence, she was awarded a State Art Fellowship and is a two-time recipient of a Canada Council Travel Grant. Her most recent collaborative work with artist Jeff Schmuki PlantBot Genetics, has been display at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, The Goethe Institute in Egypt, Bach Modern in Austria, The New Gallery Canada and during Marfa Dialogues in St. Louis. Recently this work recieved an NEA grant and a Pulitzer Foundation Grant.
As Wendy continued to critique art world structures, systems and protocols, she found intervention the most direct route and began placing works on the street or within institutions without permission. Using projectors, stickers, art liberation tactics, and videos she has commandeered the worlds most prestigious art institutions as her studio, material, and target. Documented work form her "Unauthorized Series" has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions including the Sanlun Yishu Project in Beijing, China, The Ice Box Project Space in Philadelphia, and the International Center for Art and Design in, Albuquerque New Mexico.
Her other projects can be found at www.wendydeschene.ca
