About

Rosalynn Gingerich is a Chicago-based visual artist who creates large-scale pneumatic installations and public interventions that alter spatial relationships and impact perception. Sewn from fabric, her inflatables confront viewers with color and volume, inviting movement and exploration.

In 2025, Gingerich presented solo exhibition and site-specific installation, Luna, at Waubonsee Community College, Sugar Grove, IL, and Sanctuary II, a site-specific installation for The Skirt, curated by Clare Britt for The Chicago Show at Ortega y Gasset Projects, New York, NY. Other recent exhibitions include: Wormfarm Institute, Sauk City, WI; The Mill at Vicksburg, Vicksburg, MI; The Residency Project, Pasadena, CA; and Terrain Exhibitions, Chicago. Her work has been supported by numerous residencies, including the Ragdale Foundation Artist Residency, Lake Forest, IL; The Residency Project, Pasadena, CA; and the Prairie Ronde Residency, Vicksburg, MI. 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 is a Full Professor, Adjunct, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and teaches in the departments of Contemporary Practices and Arts Administration & Policy.
