Jan Gilbert
The nationally-recognized interdisciplinary artwork of Jan Gilbert mines memory, loss, and transition through the combination of painting, printmaking, photography, and installation. Gilbert’s works, commemorative itineraries of her experience, are homages to her major influences: people (her deceased Brooklyn Dodger dad and her Italian professional seamstress/grandmother) and places (via participation in cultural/art exchanges during the past twenty years while being a lifelong resident of what she refers to as her ‘collaborator,’ her entire family’s hometown of New Orleans). These works range in scale and scope from a tiny, intimate Vietnam soldier tribute Memorial to Bobby exhibited in the National Museum for Women in the Arts’ 1996 BOOK AS ART to the 300 foot long by 1 foot high ribbon of embalmed family photos encircling the family’s Lakeview home and marking its eight foot floodline with opened windows wafting tape-recorded sound in Biography of a House, a public display part of neighborhood-wide Lakeviews: Sunset Bus Tour .
