BIOGRAPHY
Sandy
Skoglund was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1946. Skoglund studied studio art and art history
at
Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts from 1964-68. She went on to
graduate school at the
University of Iowa
in 1969 where she studied filmmaking, intaglio printmaking, and multimedia art,
receiving her M.A.
in 1971
and her M.F.A. in painting in 1972.
Skoglund
moved to New York City in 1972, where she started working as a conceptual artist, dealing with repetitive,
process-oriented
art production through the techniques of mark-making and photocopying.
In
the late seventies SkoglundŐs desire to document
conceptual ideas led her to teach herself photography.
This developing interest in
photographic technique became fused with her interest in popular culture
and
commercial picture making strategies, resulting in the directorial tableau work
she is known for today.
Skoglund
currently lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.
