Congratulations to artist Gary Gissler on his current residency at The Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice!

The Emily Harvey Foundation offers residencies in Venice, Italy, for innovative international artists, writers, musicians, videographers, dancers and other creative thinkers with preference given to those 40 years or older.

While Gissler is in Venice, he will have a solo exhibition, titled “appena“, opening January 23rd, at Castello 925.

Appena means:

only, barely, hardly

these drawings will explore the nature of pace and presence; continuing a long standing interest in the character of the sublime, this project will inquire into the measure of time, and the essence of what is barely there…

Gary Gissler is an American artist working in New York City and in the Catskills. Having exhibited widely, he has been the subject of many solo exhibitions, often with accompanying catalogues. He has been reviewed in Art in America, Flash Art, Art News, The New Yorker, ArtNet, and others. He has a long history of being collected privately, and his work is currently included at the RISD Museum and the Neuberger Museum. He has been awarded a Pollock Krasner Grant and a Chinati Foundation Artist Residency. Gissler will have a solo exhibition at Anita Rogers Gallery in September 2025.

Downtown artist Gary Gissler is featured in a group show at Anita Rogers Gallery up now called Intersections I at 494 Greenwich. Gissler grew up in the Midwest with a family that celebrated writing and language (full disclosure: his father, Sig Gissler, was my mentor at Columbia Journalism School and was the longtime head of the Pulitzer Prizes) and valued the discursive creation of meaning and interpretation. He was trained as a jeweler, which contributed to his obsessive and meticulous techniques of making art. Gissler has been reviewed in Art in America, Flash Art, Art News, The New Yorker, ArtNet, and his work is currently included at the RISD Museum and the Neuberger Museum. He has been awarded a Pollock Krasner Grant and a Chinati Foundation Artist Residency.
