Since emerging in the early 1990s, Los Angeles–based artist Diana Thater has pioneered the use of film, video, light, and sound, continually challenging the boundaries of time-based media and installation art. Her work explores the relationship between the natural and man-made worlds while critically examining the structures of mediated reality. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, including literature, animal behavior sciences, mathematics, chess, and sociology, her evocative works directly engage their surroundings, producing an intricate relationship between time and space. Thater studied Art History at New York University, before receiving her MFA from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. In June 2024, a solo exhibition of Thater’s work, Practical Effects, opened at LUMA Arles, France. In 2018, a solo presentation of the artist’s work was held at the new ICA Watershed, Boston. In 2017, the solo show A Runaway World was first exhibited at The Mistake Room, Los Angeles, and later traveled to Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, and the Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain. In 2015, a comprehensive mid-career survey of her work, The Sympathetic Imagination, was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and later traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Over the past three decades, Thater’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at over 92 venues. She has participated in over 200 group exhibitions.
