Bean Gilsdorf

Bean Gilsdorf’s sculptures respond to the ways in which political and cultural images influence social values. Her projects have been exhibited at the MCA Santa Barbara, the Wattis Institute, and the American Textile History Museum, as well as venues in Poland, England, Italy, China, and South Africa. She is the recipient of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 Fulbright Fellowships to Poland, the Bess Winspear Scholarship at Banff Centre, and a Graduate Fellowship at Headlands Center for the Arts. Gilsdorf’s work is in the permanent collections of the Berkeley Art Museum and the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
