Anne Gilman
Anne Gilman is a Brooklyn-based artist whose large-scale drawings and multidisciplinary projects map information, thought and emotion. Her dense scrolls show lines of extemporaneous text interspersed with drawn sections that reference personal and global challenges she observes as she works. She has exhibited nationally and internationally with solo and group exhibitions in Cuba, Mexico, Paris, Berlin, and throughout the United States. Her most recent solo exhibition, “rendering/abrading/redacting/repairing” was curated by Seph Rodney at Five Myles in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic, Art Spiel, Bomb Magazine, Vasari21, Guernica Magazine, and Publishing Perspectives. Her work is in the collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, The Brooklyn Museum, The Library of Congress, The British Library, and the MoMA Archives, Library and Research Collection. She has received fellowships from MacDowell, The Edward Albee Foundation, Chenven Foundation, The Cultural Space Studio Program in Dumbo/Brooklyn, and The Brooklyn Arts Council Re-grant from the Department of Cultural Affairs.
“I make these small drawings periodically as a respite from the larger scroll drawings. I tape them to a rough surface and draw small horizontal strokes with different grades of pencil. When I started this series, I was surprised to see how much they reminded me of photographs of the moon.”
