Germaine Gatewood

 Professor Gatewood, born in Buffalo, NY, is an artist living in the Hudson Valley. Gatewood’s interest in the history of objects, the power of belief, and the ways in which we reckon with the unknown are evident in her photographs, video, and sculpture. After receiving an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design, she spent a year in Trinidad and Tobago as a William J. Fulbright Fellow researching and photographing the islands’ complex spiritual landscape. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Invisible Exports, Aperture Gallery, and the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC; Carrol and Sons in Boston, MA; David Cunningham Projects, Krowswork Gallery and Femina Potens Gallery in San Francisco; the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo; and the Katherine E. Nash Gallery in Minneapolis. Gatewood participated in artist collaborative video and performance projects at the 2009 Venice Biennale and the 2003 Havana Biennial. In June 2019, her collaborative dance work merging live performance, sound, and video premiered at The New Hazlett Theater in Pittsburgh, PA.
