Code Art Fair - Dani Leventhal ReStack, Gary Kuehn + Erin Woodbrey
COPENHAGEN
August 30 – September 2, 2018
Dani Leventhal Restack (b. 1972, Columbus, Ohio) is a multidisciplinary artist whose tactile videos and works on paper investigate sensorial and emotional states via juxtaposition and the intersection of individual stories. Culling from her own life and the lives of those around her, Leventhal’s images are challenging, unnerving, and tender. Her video work has recently screened at the 2017 Whitney Biennial; Rotterdam International Film Festival; NYFF Projections; Oberhausen; The Ann Arbor Film Festival; UnionDocs; PS1; The Nightingale; Everson Museum; and Anthology Film Archives. Leventhal is the recipient of a Wexner Film/Video Residency Award, the Kazuko Trust, the Eileen Maitland Award and the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice Visual Arts Grant. In 2003 she received an MFA in sculpture from the University of Illinois at Chicago and in 2009 an MFA in film/video from Bard College. Her drawings are in the permanent collection of Yale University and the Museum of Modern Art, and she lives in Ohio, where she is Professor of Drawing at The Ohio State University.
