Carol Salmanson is an American contemporary artist. She works with light and reflective materials as well as being a painter.[1][2] Salmanson is best known for her public art installation "Water Bubbles"[3], which was partially funded by the US Department of State and exhibited in an abandoned landmark in Yekaterinburg, Russia in 2016.[4]
Early life and education[edit]
A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Salmanson received a bachelor's degree in Biological Psychology from Carnegie-Mellon University[5] and an MBA from the University of Chicago.[citation needed] She attended the Arts Students League, the School of Visual Arts as a Public Art Resident, and the National Academy of Fine Arts as an Abbey Mural Workshop Fellow.[6]
Career[edit]
Salmanson is known for her other window installations with light. Her work "Diaphany"[7] was displayed at Mixed Greens Gallery in New York City in 2008[8] and "Neo-Gothic Rockets" at 254 Park Ave South in 2011.[9] "Water Bubbles" in Russia was a twenty-window light installation in an abandoned landmark 98’-high Constructivist water tower known as the White Tower,[10] designed by architect Moisei Reischer, built to supply water to the Uralmash[11] district created by Joseph Stalin as part of his Five Year Plan to industrialize Russia. The project used references to works of artists such as El Lissitzky, Kazimir Malevich, László Moholy-Nagy, and Lyubov Popova.[12]
All of Salmanson's public work is architecturally-based and her installations use the surrounding architecture as its starting point.[13] Other window installations include "Crown Colony" in midtown Manhattan,[14] "Reflections of Grandeur" at Station Independent Projects,[15] "Village Square" as part of the Time Equities’ Art-in-Buildings program,[16] and "All That’s Left" at OK Harris Gallery Works of Art. Salmanson's outdoor sculptures include "Lot’s Ex-Wife" in Brooklyn, New York and "Tri-Quadular Cone" at City Hall in Summit, New Jersey.[17] Salmanson was also part of the "Luminaria 2013" exhibit at the Instituto Cultural de México in San Antonio.[18]
Salmanson has also presented numerous solo, two-person, and group exhibitions throughout her career.[19] She presented a solo exhibition "Two Sides to a Coin" at SL Gallery in 2018[20] in New York City. Other solo and two-person exhibition venues have included Slag Contemporary, Dam Stuhltrager Gallery,[21][22] Station Independent Projects, Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Brian Morris Gallery,[23] Storefront Bushwick,[24][25] and ODETTA Gallery in the show "Mesmerize".[26]
Salmanson's group exhibitions include "Space Invaders", curated by Karin Bravin at Lehman College,[27] Dumbo Arts Festival, and "Resplendency" at the East/West Project in Berlin. She also co-curated "Tonal Shifts" at Station Independent Projects[15] and curated "The Language of Painting" at Lesley Heller Workspace.[28]
Salmanson’s work has been covered by various media outlets including The New Criterion,[24] Il Giorno dell’Arte,[3] Il Manifesto,[12] San Antonio Current,[18] The Brooklyn Rail,[21] and NY Arts Magazine as well as a studio visit by Brian Bernhard on City University of New York television.[29]
In 2021, she was a Fellow at the National Arts Club.[30] Salmanson resides and works in New York City.
