Janet Goldner
Woven Journey by interdisciplinary artist Janet Goldner, is an immersive installation encapsulating the artist's continued commitment to Mali, combining evocative photographs amassed over years and poignant excerpts from personal journals. Beginning in 1973 with a three-month sojourn in Ghana as part of a study abroad program, Goldner’s journey led her through West Africa, with Mali being the heart of her time there. Facilitated by a prestigious Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship, in 1995, Goldner returned to Mali, where she forged a deep connection with local potters, metalsmiths, and contemporary artists. Since then, several months out of almost every year the artist travels back, where she continues the dialogue with Malian artists about their lives, work, and creative process, nurturing profound friendships, and fostering collaborative artistic connections. Goldner elaborates, “Working transculturally unites people from different cultures, education, histories. The exchange of perspectives and contexts can highlight global similarities and specific cultural differences as contributors think together, contributing beliefs and strategies from their individual experiences. As the work continues over a long period of time, the result can be an identity that is not exclusively linked to a geographic location or ethnicity but to new cultural and conceptual realms.”
Janet Goldner is a New York City based interdisciplinary artist. Born in Washington, DC., Goldner earned her BA from Antioch College and her MA in sculpture from New York University. Janet’s steel sculpture, photography, video, text, installation, and social projects bridge diverse cultures, exploring and celebrating similarities and differences. Goldner's work has been exhibited in over thirty solo exhibitions, and over one hundred-fifty group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. Highlights from Goldner’s museum exhibitions include Global Africa Project, Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY curated by Lowery Sims; Women Facing AIDS, New Museum for Contemporary Art, New York, NY; Multiple Exposures, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; Visions of Life, Islip Museum, Islip, NY curated by Marcia Yerman, Activist New York, The Museum of the City of New York, NY; Beyond Reading: Books As Art, Suffolk Museum, Suffolk, VA; Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx NY. Permanent collections include the American Embassy in Mali, the city of Segou, Mali and the Islip Museum on Long Island, NY. She has received four Fulbright Specialist grants (Mali, Zimbabwe, Japan, Uganda) and grants from the Ford Foundation and the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid, Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, Public Diplomacy grant, US Dept of State. Goldner's published articles include a chapter in Contemporary African Fashion, Indiana University Press, an essay in Poetics of Cloth, Grey Art Gallery, NYU.
