Born Nancy Deborah Goldring
(1945-01-25 ) January 25, 1945 (age 79) Nationality American Known for
Drawing ,
photography ,
projection
Nancy Goldring (born January 25, 1945) is an American artist. She developed a way of making art that combines graphic, photographic, and projected material, presented as a non-narrative series of images that she calls "foto-projections." She currently lives and works in New York City, and is a professor at
Montclair State University .
[1]
Goldring grew up in University City,
Missouri where her father was professor of cardiology at Washington University.
She was educated at University City High School, received a BA in Art History at
Smith College , and an MA in Fine Art at
NYU . She received her first Fulbright Grant to Italy immediately afollowing Smith Colege.
[2]
While a graduate student,she was a co-founder of
SITE , or Sculpture in the Environment, an organization of artists dedicated to developing public art projects.
[3] After leaving
SITE she began developing her own work, although she continued to write about public sculpture. Together with Michael Webb of Archigram and Giuliano Fiorenzoli she collaborated on an exhibition, Image of the Home at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in
New York .
Goldring's work is unique in its incorporation of drawing, models, photography, and slide projection.
She began presenting the work as large slide projection installations, suggesting the intricate nature of human perception by re-ordering visual information to propose irreconcilable time frames, shifting vantage points, changing moods, and memory traces. Each image represents one of the many possible ways of evoking a place or a moment; and the series altogether suggests the complex way we experience the world. Seen this way, the sequence seems to excavate a real or imagined archaeological site thereby slowly revealing a rich sedimentation of an irrecoverable past.
Her archive is held by the
Smithsonian Institution .
Nancy Goldring has worked on numerous collaborations including,
