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 a desperate attempt to hold onto time and place, to stabilize it. He proceeds accordingly by rebuilding and photographing instances of past events (a mix of his own and others), confronting them with a new aesthetic history. Through this process he describes the permanence desired in everyday relationships and experiences.

Wiener received his Bachelors of Fine Arts at Massachusetts College of Art in 2001 and his Masters of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. His work has been featured at The Upstairs Gallery, The Copley Society, and the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts in Boston, Gallery 2 and the Cultural Center in Chicago, and published in the ThreeWalls Press inaugural issue of Paper & Carriage Magazine, Chicago.
