Artist Statement for Janet Goldner
|
|
|
My life experiences play an integral part in the development of my work. A master welder, I work in three dimensions as well as on paper, on the floor, on walls, and suspended from the ceiling, indoors and outdoors. My installations include steel sculptures, video, photography and sound. My work combines poetry, patterns, forms and African themes that engage in social discourse.
I have exhibited my work widely throughout the US and internationally. Highlights include The Global Africa Project at the Museum of Arts and Design (2010-11) and Women Facing AIDS at the New Museum (1989) as well as Have We Met?, a major installation at Colgate University (2007). My work is in the permanent collection of the American Embassy in Mali.
I have a lifelong relationship with Africa, especially with Mali. I received a Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship to Mali in 1994-5 . Since my Fulbright, I have spent several months every year in Mali engaged in a wide variety of cultural research and projects concerning cultural preservation and contemporary art and artists in Mali.
I received a grant from the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid. I am currently a Fulbright Senior Specialist. I have curated exhibitions, published articles and catalogs, and lectured at conferences, universities, and community venues. Recently publications include a chapter in Contemporary African Fashion, Indiana University Press, an essay in Poetics of Cloth, Grey Art Gallery, NYU.
