DIKE BLAIR/ THURSDAY 18 OCTOBER/ VISITS 

CRITIC/PAINTING/SCULPTURE

http://www.thing.net/~lilyvac/

Dike Blair makes assemblages using carpeting, light fixtures, photographs, and painted wooden crates with other paintings inside.  He often makes paintings and sculptures in tandem. "I tend to work in binaries, and they show up not just between one practice and another, but within each of my practices. It always seems to me that if you make a decision to do one thing that the opposite decision makes just as much sense. There’s always a flip side."  His name rhymes with bike.  He used to hang out at CBGB's back in the day. 

Blair is a writer and a senior professor of painting at RISD. He studied at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, Skowhegan and received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1977.  He was in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. A collection of his writings, “Again: Selected Interviews and Essays” was published by WhiteWalls in 2007. In 2009, Blair received a Guggenheim Fellowship and was the subject of a ten-year survey at the Weatherspoon Art Museum.
