Dutes Miller’s work has been written about in Artforum, Hyperallergic, the Huffington Post, the Chicago Reader, Time Out Chicago, New City, and the Chicago Tribune. Miller’s work has been included in exhibitions at several national venues including White Flag Projects in St. Louis and the Ukrainian Museum of Art in Chicago. His collaborative work with his husband Stan Shellabarger, as Miller & Shellabarger, won a 2008 Artadia Award and a 2007 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award and has been written about in Art in America, Art & Auction, Frieze, Artnet, The Art Newspaper, and Flash Art. Miller received a BFA from Illinois State University. He is represented by Western Exhibitions in Chicago and …
