RESUME

BIO

Emily Ginsburg was born in New York, New York. She received her BA in Art History from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in 1986 and an MFA in Printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in 1991.

Ginsburg’s conceptually driven work maps the affective impact of everyday life through diverse media. Her research involves explorations into human behavioral patterns and how meaning is perpetually entangled with mass media platforms, embodiment, and daily rituals.   These works have been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally as well as commissioned for public art projects at Seattle City Light, Seattle, Washington, Portland State University and Cyan/Pdx in Portland, Oregon.  Recent solo exhibitions include the critically reviewed “Metabolic”, at SE Cooper Contemporary and a site-specific installation in Siena, Italy.

 She has been awarded various project grants through the Regional Arts and Culture Council, and residencies at Siena Art Institute, Haystack, Vermont Studio Center, and SACI in Florence.   Her was published in: DATA FLOW, THE MAP AS ART and projects have been reviewed in Artillery Magazine, Art and About PDX, Ceramics Now, Oregon Arts Watch, The Portland Mercury, Art Papers, Art US, and The 22 Magazine amongst others. Her work will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Oregon Jewish Museum/Center for Holocaust Education.
