Rosalynn Gingerich is a Chicago-based visual artist who creates large-scale installations, sculptural forms and public interventions to cultivate perceptual awareness between the viewer and their surrounding environment. Engaging the hard edges of existing architecture with vibrant inflatable organic structures, her work encourages viewers to be curious and reexamine their assumptions about the physicality of color while probing how spatial relationships impact perception.

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: Wormfarm Institute, Sauk City, WI, The Mill at Vicksburg, Vicksburg, MI, The Residency Project, Pasadena, CA; Site: Brooklyn Gallery, NY; and Terrain Exhibitions, Chicago.

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