Kimberly Gremillion

Kimberly Gremillion was born in Chicago and resides in Houston. In the spring of 1999, a series of her photographs was featured in Aperture magazine, Explorations: Nine Portfolios. In October 2003, Black & White Magazine featured selections from three of her portfolios, which included the cover.

From September 2001 to August 2002 her circus work toured to several museums, including The Ringling Museum of Art, with the American Federation of Arts, New York. The photographs are featured in the accompanying book, Images From The World Between. The Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, Connecticut, exhibited a solo show this past summer entitled Double Vision: The Circus Series. Gremillion's Circus book tour began April 2003 at Stephen Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles, continuing on to Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe and The Ralls Collection, Washington D.C., and will travel to museums and galleries throughout the country through 2005. Both the International Center of Photography and Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York hosted book signings in May 2004.

Gremillion is represented in sixteen museum collections including The Art Institute of Chicago, The Biblioteque Nationale, Paris, The Santa Barbara Museum of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The 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."
