Margaret Evangeline

American (1943)

About the artist:

New York-based, Louisiana-born Painter Margaret Evangeline has long experimented with aesthetically resistant material, making work that deepens the immediacy of a moment. Evangeline uses gunshot and mirror polished stainless steel to open up the all-over 2D picture plane with its taproot in New American-Type Painting. In recent videos, she experiments with sound and actions collected while shooting the steel panels of a commissioned sculpture. Once Upon a Time, America, a three-minute video, was produced in conjunction with the site-specific installation now in the permanent collection of The Fields at ArtOmi, near Ghent, New York. She is frequently written about in The New York Times, Art in America, ARTnews, The Chicago Tribune, Architectural Digest, and many other publications. Evangeline is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, 2001, and a New York Foundation for the Arts Grant, 1996. Solo exhibitions of the artist’s work have been held at venues as various as The Palm Beach ICA, The Delaware Center for the Arts, The Hafnarborg Art Museum outside Reykjavik, Iceland, and the Taipei Museum in Taiwan. She is a member of the NY Advisory Board for Louisiana Arts. In February 2007 at Stux Gallery in New York City, Evangeline installed an exhibition of new shot works and photographs for her solo exhibition "Ricochet". At the opening of this exhibition, Evangeline performed a work called "Prodigal Daughter", in which she choreographed her own live gunshots with the percussive rhythms of a professional tap dancer. An iconoclastic language developed around the socio-political work that is at once poetic and provocative, inspired by the ideas of John Cage and current events. In October 2007, Evangeline installed a solo exhibition of oil on canvas, titled "Fixing the Attitude in a Slightly Forward Leaning Position" at Heriard-Cimino Gallery during Art for Artsake, the opening of the arts season in New Orleans. For 2008 Evangeline will create a site specific installation for the River Thames in London on a barge across from the Tate Modern, commissioned by Illuminate Productions. She is currently working on a mid-career monograph, with the working title, Uneasy Waters: The Art of Margaret Evangeline. She is also co-curating with Dominique Nahas an exhibition for the Rose Art Museum in Waltham, MA, titled, "Empires and Environments".
