B 1988. Gabrielle Meyerowitz has always found solace in color and line, and has understood it as her medium. During her studies in Paris after studying painting and drawing at New York’s Pratt Institute and the Arts Students League, she found an old suitcase, “Valise”, which then became a foundational principle of portable home in her “Projet Valise” as well as her Scroll Series. Meyerowitz’s work is often interactive, site-specific, and multi-disciplinary with contents of writing and sound as a direct response to the particularities of physical space, the end as an abstraction. In her pieces, Meyerowitz seeks the “articulation of the universality and connectivity that stirs inside cracks of common places, existing momentarily in duets between sound and surface,” with a foundation of painting, theatre, and foreign space.
