Artist Lecture: Deb Sokolow

This event is free and open to the public.

About the Artist (from CVA): Deb Sokolow is a Chicago-based artist whose text-driven drawings combine research, fiction and humor to speculate on topics concerning politics, conspiracy theory and human nature. Recent exhibitions include the 4th Athens Biennale in Greece, The Drawing Center in New York City, Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen in Germany and The Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia. Sokolow’s 2013 solo exhibition at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Some Concerns About the Candidate, was reviewed in the New York Times. Her work has been reproduced for Creative Time’s Comics project, for Swedish magazine, Paletten, and in Vitamin D2, a survey on contemporary drawing. She is a recipient of the 2012 Artadia award and residencies at Art Omi and Nordic Artists’ Centre in Norway. Sokolow received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004 and is a lecturer in the Department of Art Theory & Practice at Northwestern University.
