Brett Reif

Recent work involves deep-frying objects and materials (from Barbie Dolls to phone books) to create installations. Originally from New Orleans, Reif received his B.F.A. degree from Loyola University in New Orleans and his M.F.A. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His work has been exhibited at Spaces Gallery, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, Buffalo Artist Studio, North Carolina Museum of Art, Ackland Museum in North Carolina and the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, MO.
