Walead Beshty Biography

Walead Beshty deals with how the art system influences art production and how the resulting works are able to shape this. His work is based on an awareness of the interactions between the social context and the social conditions: Materials, production conditions, studio and exhibition spaces, transport systems, institutions, and the environment of education, criticism, the public, collectors, the art market, etc.—all these are the basis of his work. They help determine how a work of art is created, presented, and ultimately perceived.
