Cardenas exhibition opens at YSU, Youngstown, 2018-10-17

“YOUNGSTOWN — The work of Gaby Berglund Cardenas opens today at
Youngstown State University.
Cardenas is an international multi-disciplinary artist whose work straddles
disparate worlds — Houston, where she currently lives as an expat; her
birthplace of Ecuador, where her family lives; Sweden, where her new
home is; and South Korea, which has influenced her spirit after living there
for about nine years.
Through her art, she addresses the human condition, the female body and
the realms of spirituality. Her work spans mediums from paintings and
printmaking to installation, textiles and artist’s books.
Cardenas works from her studio in Houston and is a member of
PrintMatters and the Burning Bones Press in Houston. She also is
represented by Grafik i Vast in Gothenburg, Sweden, where she’ll be
moving next year.

Upcoming projects include a solo exhibition at the Carl Jung Center in
Houston in February 2019 and participation in the collective show
“Nevertheless She Persisted” at the Koehnline Museum of Art in Chicago
this month.
She earned her master’s degree in oil painting from Kyungsung University
in Busan, South Korea, in 2012 and has been actively exhibiting
internationally in such galleries and museums as the Edward Hopper
House of Art, New York; Koehnline Museum of Art, Chicago; The Beaney
Museum of Canterbury, England; Hangaram Museum in Seoul, South
Korea; and the Lawndale Art Center in Houston.
“Gaby Berglund Cardenas: Life as You Wait” will be on display at Bliss
Hall’s Judith Rae Solomon Gallery through Oct. 5. An opening reception is
5 to 7 p.m. today and admission is free. Call 330-941-2307.””

A tradition at the Koehnline Museum is its annual collaboration with the Women and Gender Studies program to bear witness to the many creative women sharing their unique visions in the visual, literary, and performing arts. Nevertheless She Persisted focuses on the reserves of strength and resilience women display. We see it in the courage of women in emerging grassroots movements such as #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the National Women’s Marches, the LGBTQIA+ and international human rights movements, and the remarkable young leaders of the Parkland survivors. It rises in the determination of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Elizabeth Warren, and countless others trying to break the glass ceiling in U.S. government and politics.

A while back, as part of Hispanic Heritage Month for the friends at OCCHA, RJ Thompson wrote and was awarded an International Institute grant from Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley to bring me to Department of Art • YSU to share my work with the students and City of Youngstown community in Ohio, USA. Today is the opening of my IX Solo Exhibition entitled “Life While You Wait”, a series of woodcuts on textiles, installations and artist’s books about embracing uncertainty as an expat, migrating and exploring the idea of moving through different continents.
