Biography:
Dianna Frid makes objects and images that span a wide range of scales and media. These works take the form of artist books and collages, or they function as installations or as discrete two and three-dimensional pieces. Frids works are material responses to existing images, shapes and things in the world. In making objects, she stresses the relationship of two-dimensional representation to the three-dimensionality of sculpture and hybrid objects.
Frid received her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003 and her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in1991. Selected fellowships and grants received include Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue in 2004; The Harper-Schmidt Fellowship at The University of Chicago, 2003-2006; The Trustees Merit Scholarship at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, 2001-2003; A Grant for Visual Arts from The Canada Council in 2001; and The CAAP Grant from The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs in 2000. She has lectured at The Cranbrook Academy of Art, The Department of Fiber and Material Studies at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The University of Wisconsin at Madison, and DePaul University in Chicago.
