Robert Peters

Robert Peters is a Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago. His artistic practice investigates how language and institutional frameworks shape perception and societal experiences, often bridging the gap between art and life through interdisciplinary collaborations.

• Focuses on installations, performances, artist's books, and audio works
• Collaborates with non-artists (historians, economists, magicians)
• Exhibited widely; preparing an exhibition at Chiang Mai University Art Museum

His works challenge rigid boundaries between artistic and non-artistic environments, using interactive elements to create dualities in viewer engagement. Awards include grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Arts Council, and Lila-Wallace Reader's Digest Foundation.
