1 April - 27 May 2000

Zürich

Diana Thater (born 1962), a video artist of the younger generation, lives and works in Los Angeles. Since 1991 she has attracted attention with her installations, among others, in solo exhibitions with Witte de With and David Zwirner. Diana Thater has made her mark on the international scene with China, shown in the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago and in Le Creux de l’Enfer, Thiers (1995), as well as through participation in important group exhibitions such as the 10th Biennale of Sydney (1996), the Munster Sculpture Project (1997) and the travelling exhibition Sunshine & Noir: Art in L.A. 1960-1997. In Switzerland, she garnered recognition through the 1996 exhibition of her work in the Kunsthalle Basel. Her name is associated with room-sized, profusely colorful and luminous projections which – as with her exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1998) – carry visitors off into Alice’s Wonderland.
