Exploring the relationship between art\, power and politics\, her curatorial practice examines the physical and psychological connection to land\, the trauma of displacement and the Black female body as contested terrain. Gilbert’s intersectional critical analysis exposes the fault lines in the aesthetic regimes that dominate visual culture\, specifically by presenting artists whose contributions to the canon have been overlooked\, particularly women artists from the “Deep South” and the “Global South”. Most recently the Curator of African American Manuscripts at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art\, she has also held positions at The Art Institute of Chicago and The Studio Museum in Harlem. \nOver the course of her career she has addressed audiences at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, National Gallery of Art\, Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Howard University\, Fashion Institute of Technology and Swann Auction House. Figure and Force\, a conversation she moderated between Barbara Chase Riboud and Ilyasah Shabbaz for Solange’s Saint Heron\, exemplifies her commitment to expanding the audience for modern and contemporary art. \nIn July 2021\, Gilbert curated A Force For Change\, an exhibition presenting 26 contemporary women artists of African descent in New York benefiting UN Women. She is the co-curator of Mary Lovelace O’Neal: Whales Fucking which will open at MoAD in San Francisco\, California in November 2022. Since 2015 she has curated several museum and gallery exhibitions in the US and UK including Zohra Opoku: Draped Histories/Beyond Visage\, Sienna Shields: Invisible Woman and In The Eye of the Beholder. \nGilbert holds a BA in Political Science and a BA in African and African American Studies from the University of Michigan\, and a MA in Contemporary Art from the University of Manchester.  She has published catalog essays on several prominent artists\, including Deborah Roberts (Spelman University\, 2018); Alma Thomas (Mnuchin Gallery\, 2019); Chakaia Booker (ICA Miami\, 2021) and Mary Lovelace O’Neal (MoAD\, 2022). \nAttend the Zoom OPENING\, January 14th\, 2022\, at 7PM EST\, 3PM PST!\n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "MOSTLY MONOCHROME"
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be included in the exhibition\, Mostly Monochrome\, presented online by the loved and respected  WoArt Blog\, and curated by WoArtBlog founder\,  Christina Massey\, offering a strong platform for Women Artists. \n\n\nNovember 1 – 30th\, 2021\nwww.woartblog.com.\n\n“Mostly Monochrome” is an online exhibition featuring artists using a mostly monochromatic approach to the creation of their work. Artworks with the reduced variant of color grab their viewers attention instead through their process\, materials\, composition and tonality.\nAs one scrolls through the exhibition\, you’ll be visually transitioning through subtle shifts in the monochromatic palette and visually stimulated through the juxtaposition of works from minimal color field paintings to extremely detailed and laborious drawings and sculptures.\nViewers are invited to scroll through the wide range of artistic styles and explore the work in the virtual gallery slideshow. Click on the images to get further details and make any purchases of Artworks.\nSupport the work of Women Artists\, shop the online store!\n\nFeaturing Artists: \nLaura Ahola-Young\, Lois Bender\, Laurey Bennett-Levy\, Angelica Bergamini\, Carol Bouyoucos\, Clare Burson\, Ai Campbell\, Jaynie Crimmins\, Marianne DeAngelis\, Debra Disman\, Pauline Galiana\, Veronika Golova\, Carolynn Haydu\, Erin Juliana\, Rachel Kohn\, Parvathi Kumar\, Barbara Laube\, Bonny Leibowitz\, Seren Morey\, Jane Nodine\, Judith Ornstein\, Dara Oshin\, Barbara Owen\, Lily Prince\, Eve Provost Chartrand\, Robin Roi\, Andra Samelson\, Amy Sands\, Mary Shah\, Barbara Sherman\, Christina Smith\, Lauren Smith\, Judi Tavill\, Jessica Tawczynski\, Shira Toren\, Ellen Weider\, Odeta Xheka\, Emna Zghal\, Tamar Zinn \nI am honored to have two works presented in the show\, “Before the Fall”\, and “Profusion”\, pictured below. \n \n \nHear our discussion on Clubhouse!\nArtists Who AND…\, ”Artists…giving back to the creative community”\, Debra Disman/Lois Bender/Laurey Bender-Levy\, Clubhouse\, November 17\, 2021

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: Brand 49: the  Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION: I am thrilled to participate in the exhibition: Brand 49\, the Brand Associates Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper\, happening September 11 – October 30\, 2021\, represented by a collaborative artist book work created with contemporary  artist Luciana Abait\, entitled\, “drift“. The piece highlights the effect humans are having on our precious and fragile environment\, specifically\, the melting of the polar icecaps in Antarctica.  \nBrand 49 welcomes Marvella Muro\, Director of Artistic Programs and Education at Self Help Graphics and Art (SHG) in Los Angeles\, as this year’s juror. From it’s inception in 1973\, Self Help Graphics has been nationally known for functioning at the intersection of the arts and social justice. Providing a home that fosters the creativity and development of local artists\, it is the pre-eminent center for Latinx printmaking and a resource for young and emerging artists. \nBrand 49 is organized by the Associates of Brand Library & Art Center\, an all volunteer non-profit that raises funds to support the extensive free and public events at Brand including gallery exhibitions\, classical and popular music performances\, film screenings\, dance performances\, and activities for people of all ages.

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: TRICKSTERS & TRANSFORMATION at the Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be participating in “Tricksters and Transformation”\, organized by Textile Arts LA\, on view at the Helms Design Center\, Studio E!\n \n“Textiles have the universally demonstrated capacity for holding meaning\, establishing connections\, and creating healing. As we emerge\, on many levels\, from the darkness into the light of awareness of isolation and injustice we have an opportunity and obligation to examine the status quo. This exhibition will allow the artist to step into the now and make work that opens doors within themselves\, thereby acting as a portal to a collective resurgence into a renewed relationship with the world. This awakening inspires transformation. \nThere is a deep potential for the artist to act as trickster\, agent of change\, or boundary crosser. After the pandemic and the social upheaval of the past eighteen months\, the artist has gained renewed agency for creating more enlightened definitions of meaning and new ways of seeing. \nThe pandemic can be a portal\, serving as a provocation to transformation.” \nI am showing “Torrent and Tangle: Keep Your House In Order”\, in a new configuration! \n \nJuror: Carol Shaw-Sutton \nCarol Shaw-Sutton has been exhibiting her fiber sculpture in the U.S. and internationally since the 1970s with the California Design Exhibitions\, the Young American Award exhibition at Museum of Art and Design in NYC\, three Lausanne Biennales in Switzerland and the Kyoto Museum of Art\, Japan.  Her work is included in numerous major museum collections including the Oakland Museum of Art\, The DeYoung Museum\, The Museum of Art and Design\, among others\, as well as corporate and private holdings worldwide.  She received three NEA Individual Artist Fellowships\, the prestigious Young American Award from the American Craft Council\, the United States/Japan and the United States/France Fellowships and many others from her city and university. Shaw-Sutton recently retired from the School of Art at CSULB where she headed their Fiber Program for more than thirty years and is now Professor Emeritus. \nArtist -in-residence Carmen Mardonez will be at the gallery. Please email Carrie Burckle or Lesley Roberts if you would like to meet one of us at the gallery to walk-through. Thank you for supporting textile arts in Los Angeles!
