Anne Gilman Exhibit at Gallery

MANSFIELD, PA- “Observations, Errors + Corrections: A survey of Anne Gilman’s Drawings, Prints, + Artist Books,” is on display at the Mansfield University Gallery. The exhibit will run through November 5.
Gilman is a Brooklyn-based artist who does large works on paper and artist book/installation projects with text and drawing. Interested in the multiple ways of viewing any given situation she combines tactile elements and
transparencies to reveal an internal dialogue that examines political, social and psychological conflicts.
“I use a mixture of text and drawing in my work to address personal issues as well as larger social concerns,” Gilman says of her work. “The format varies from works on paper and canvas, to books and larger mixed media pieces. In general, I am attempting to take the turmoil of information and ideas I have in my head, and process them and come to terms with them. At the same time, I am drawn to the tactile nature of various materials and find it important to move between the ideas that underlie the work and the physicality of the tools I use.”
Gilman’s work has been exhibited in the U.S., Latin America and Europe. She was a recipient of a 2010 Fellowship from the Edward Albee Foundation and co-winner of the 2010 best studio prize from the Dumbo Arts Festival.
Gilman was recently awarded a MacDowell Fellowship. She will be a Featured Artist at the Center For Book Arts in April 2012 with her project The Jolly Balance.
