Scott Patrick Wiener spent most of his early life traveling from one military base to another, never spending more than four years in one place at a time. The work he produces is a direct result of an attempt to hold onto time and place – to stabilize it. He proceeds accordingly by using lens-based media to reference past personal or socio-historic events reinforcing their antagonistic specificity as objects in the present. He recently finished a residency the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Class of 2010) and a 2009-10 DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Scholarship for Fine Arts in Leipzig, Germany. Currently, he teaches at Brandeis University, Middlesex and Bunker Hill Community Colleges.
