Joan Giordano
The silencing of women’s voices that has existed over centuries of civilizations throughout the world is akin to murder.
In Murder She Said, voice silencing is clearly manifested as rage in an undulating form of feminine curves and attached to the wall with rifle bullets obtained from a male-centric mountain town centered around a gun shop.
The rage experienced during those voice silencing moments is inherent in the imagery and is as fatal as a gunshot.
Joan Giordano is best known for her fearless experimentation with new techniques and use of unconventional materials, both of which have been consistent themes throughout her storied 50 year career. She creates multi-dimensional works that compel the viewer to contemplate numerous perspectives at once.
Giordano has enjoyed more than fifty museum and gallery exhibitions at The National Museum of Art, Santiago, Chile; Museo Del Corso, Florence, Italy; Santa Maria Della Scala, Siena, Italy; Gallery Brocken, Tokyo, Feminine Dialogue UNESCO, Paris; Art Link Gallery, South Korea; Fiberart International, Pittsburgh, The Montclair Art Museum, NJ, The Trenton City Museum NJ, The American Museum of Papermaking, Atlanta, the Knoxville Museum of Art, The Nat. Museum of Contemporary Art, Crete — to mention a few. She holds a BA from Wagner Collage and an MFA from Pratt Institute. She is represented by June Kelly Gallery, NYC.
