About

Rosalynn Gingerich is a Chicago-based visual artist who creates site-responsive installations and sculptural objects. Utilizing color-saturated organic forms, Gingerich approaches each situation in the spirit of play, watching to see how relationships develop and discovering how we imagine the lives of objects in relation to our own lived experiences.

Gingerich holds a BFA from Ringling College of Art & Design and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been featured in WTTW Chicago Tonight, Newcity Chicago and Bad At Sports, among others. She is the recipient of an Individual Artist Support Project Grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a Faculty Enrichment Grant from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Community Arts Assistance Program Grant from the City of Chicago. Gingerich’s work has been exhibited nationally, and recent exhibitions include: Site: Brooklyn Gallery, NY; Terrain Exhibitions, Oak Park, IL; THE SUB-MISSION, The Mission Projects, Chicago, IL; and the Koehnline Museum of Art, Des Plaines, IL. 

Gingerich is an Assistant Professor, Adj., at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and teaches in the departments of Contemporary Practices and Arts Administration & Policy.
