Shana Kaplow is a visual artist working with large-scale, ink-on-paper installation, sculpture, and video. Her images of mass-produced household objects peruse the familiar and the enigmatic confronting a society organized around ever-expanding consumption and exploitation. Her work has been featured in exhibitions and screenings at Minneapolis Institute of Art, Walker Art Center, Asheville Art Museum, Franklin Art Works, Urban Institute for Contemporary Art, The Soap Factory, and others. She is the recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painters and Sculptors, The McKnight Visual Artist Fellowship, the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant, and the Arts Midwest/NEA Artist Fellowship. She was an artist in residence at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, the Red Gate International Artist Residency in Beijing, and the Vermont Studio Center. Kaplow received her MFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in visual studies and her BA from Connecticut College. She lives and works in St. Paul, Minnesota and is a Professor in the Art Department at St. Cloud State University.
