Artist Cheryl Goldsleger speaks with Curator Chase Dougherty about her exhibition "Traces" at The Delaware Contemporary.
Cheryl Goldsleger exhibits her work nationally and internationally with her most recent exhibition Vast Scale-Intimate Space included in the European Cultural Centre’s 2019 Venice Art Biennale exhibition during the 58th Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy. Goldsleger’s work is represented in important museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; the High Museum; Albright-Knox Gallery; The Fogg Museum at Harvard University; The Israel Museum; The New Orleans Museum; the Brooklyn Museum, The North Carolina Museum of Art; The Greenville County Museum; Yale University Art Gallery; the Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University; and the Tel Aviv Museum among many other important public and private collections.
“My interests lie in the relationship individuals and societies have with place, location and boundaries. I address these ideas using abstract visual language that pursues a sense of tension and seeks to suggest a human presence. The differences and nuances of how space is perceived versus how it is understood conceptually are two of the underlying ideas in my paintings.”
Goldsleger has received two senior Artists Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and other regional and state artist’s grants. Her work has been discussed in an extensive list of publications including Art in America, Artforum, The Hudson Review, The New York Observer, Burnaway and ArtNet Magazine. Her international residencies at the La Napoule Foundation and a US/France Exchange Fellowship in Paris have provided invaluable resources for her work.
Crossroads, Goldsleger’s public art project in Atlanta, is a permanent mosaic tile floor installation in Terminal A of the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Currently, Goldsleger is the Morris Eminent Scholar in Art at Augusta University in Georgia.
