Daniel Giles is a Black American interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Rotterdam, theNetherlands. His artistic practice uses methods of collaboration,appropriation, and abstraction to question how power functions withinrepresentational systems. Giles’ work takes shape through studio practice as well as collaborative, research-based, and performative approaches resulting in artworks, publications, and forms of pedagogy. Each project departs from a different subject, drawing on a wide range of interests and assuming different aesthetic and material forms. Recent works use the methods and materials of drawing to investigate how racialization and whiteness are ingrained within art. Giles is a recent grantee of the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and has attended artist residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and MFA from Northwestern University. His work has been exhibited, performed, and screened at venues including The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; El Museo Tamayo, Mexico City; Contemporary Arts Museum Houston; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Tufts University Art Galleries, Medford, MA; and Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Seattle, WA.
