Kimberly Gremillion was born in Chicago and resides in Houston. In the Explorations issue, Aperture magazine named her “one of nine photographers to watch.” Her work has been featured in many significant publications over the years including the American Federation of Arts’ Images From the World Between and the cover of Black & White Magazine. Gremillion’s 26-city Circus book tour included the International Center of Photography and Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, Stephen Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles, Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe/Dallas, The Ralls Collection in Washington D.C., and other museums and galleries throughout the country.

Gremillion has photographed many prestigious dance troupes including Mark Morris, Alvin Ailey, Elizabeth Streb and Pilobolus. She is currently showing her work in New York with the Pomegranate Arts production of Shockheaded Peter. Most recently Gremillion had an exhibition of fifty of these photographs in the Transamerica Building lobbies in San Francisco. Gremillion’s next book, Dance, will be released fall, 2010.

Gremillion is represented in eighteen museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

"Kimberly Gremillion reveals a heretofore unseen circus. The strange world she creates is one where positive and negative space seem reversed, where a horse is its mane, a woman her muscles, a tiger its stripes."
