Emilie Louise Gossiaux (born 1989, Metairie) is an American multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in New York City.[1] She creates drawings, ceramics, and installations.[2]
Her work engages with themes of interdependence and the entanglements of humans and animals, in conversation with the scholarship of Donna Haraway and recent work in disability studies. A 2022 Brooklyn Rail review of her exhibition Significant Otherness described Gossiaux's sculptures and drawings as "...shot through with the radical intimacy that accompanies recognition of our mutual enmeshment."[3] She has been recognized with numerous awards.[4][5]
Life
editGossiaux was born in Metairie, Louisiana, near New Orleans, and raised in the nearby suburb of Terrytown. She became interested in art at a young age,[6] but in high school she preferred printmaking and etching to drawing.[2] She was hearing impaired from a young age, which worsened as she grew older. While attending Cooper Union, she moved into an apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn with her then-boyfriend in 2009. In May 2010, Gossiaux underwent an operation to receive a cochlear implant.[6]
In October 2010, Gossiaux was hit by a truck while riding her bicycle in Brooklyn, resulting in cardiac arrest, "a traumatic brain injury, a stroke and multiple fractures in her head, pelvis and leg". Initially unresponsive at the hospital, medical staff told her parents she would likely not recover. However, Gossiaux became responsive over a month after the accident, and was transferred to NYU Langone Medical Center’s Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. The accident did leave her blind.[6] The story of her recovery was profiled in a 2011 Radiolab episode[7] which has been recognized for its storytelling and emotional impact.[8] Gossiaux's description of being in a coma had an impact on Ira Glass.[9]
Gossiaux went on to graduate from Cooper Union with a BFA, and later received an MFA in sculpture from Yale University.[2]
To adapt to losing her sight, she received rehabilitation training at BLIND Incorporated in Minneapolis. During her training, she began working with clay as a medium.[2]
Work
editMany of Gossiaux's sculptures and drawings feature her guide dog London, with whom she has "an interdependent relationship that crisscrosses between maternal, spousal, emotional, and practical."[2][10] In an Art in America interview, Gossiaux describes her drawings as "giving [London] a kind of agency, and in daily life, she gives me agency too."[11] Since 2020, Gossiaux has not made any art depicting humans besides herself and her partner, Kirby.[2]
In an interview with The Paris Review, Gossiaux calls her process of drawing a "tactile experience". She keeps a ballpoint pen pressed against the paper and is able to feel the impression made by the line.[12] Gossiaux has described the imagery in her work as "mainly from touch memories, for example, the feeling of London's tongue on my hand, or the feeling of her claws on my foot".[13]
Exhibitions
editIn 2021, Gossiaux's sculpture piece Dancing with London (2021) was included in the exhibition Crip Time at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany.[2]
In 2023, Gossiaux received her first institutional solo-show at the Queens Museum, titled Other-Worlding.[14]
In 2024, Gossiaux had her first European solo-show, titled Kinship, at Kunsthall Trondheim.[15]
