scout ober (b. 1993) is a transdisciplinary artist working in ceramics, printmaking, and installation
Ober’s work investigates spaces where their body, identity, and systems of care intersect, using installation to simulate domesticity while unsettling it, holding questions of invisible disability, queer temporality, and rituals of care. They are graduating with a BFA from the University of Minnesota, where they have received the Fink, Joyce Lyon, and Trenton Evans scholarships. In 2025, Ober was nominated for the Beinecke Graduate Scholarship. Their work has been shown at Studio 21 in Grand Marais and Quarter Gallery in Minneapolis. Their capstone exhibition will be at the Katherine E. Nash Gallery in April 2026.
