Linda Adele Goodine
Photographer and Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguished Professor at East Carolina University, Linda Adele Goodine talks about her 30 year career as creator, educator and mentor.
Wednesday, October 14, 2015
7pm – Douglas-Whitley Gallery
Linda Adele Goodine, known for large scale, elaborately staged, performative photographs that have been shown and collected internationally. Goodine’s work has been reviewed in Aperture, Art Papers, and Art in America, and described by Donald Kuspit in the catalog for her Cibachromes (1982-1992) that first garnered national attention.
Goodine purposely left the commercial gallery world of her early career to devote herself to teaching critical thinking to the next generations of artist-citizens. As an educator her pedagogy is informed by the idea that art education can greatly enhance individuals and world cultures through the development of self-worth, self-sufficiency, empowerment, and creativity. Her mentorship spans thirty years.
Goodine continues to create and exhibit new bodies of work, including a move into the areas of video and sound art, while her thirty year retrospective has recently traveled to two universities.
Linda Adele Goodine has found literary correspondences and inspiration throughout her career, where the lush imagistic languages of the Magic Realists informed her Eden-like Southern tableaux. She is an artist trained in photography, modern dance, and installation art. Goodine’s works speak to her own experiences and extends resonance with the larger stage that we all find ourselves upon, struggling to find meaning in the seasons of our lives.
Linda Adele Goodine’s training includes a Master of Fine Arts (1984) from Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida where she studied as a teaching fellow in photography with Robert Fichter, dance with Nancy Fichter, and installation/ performance with Jimmy Roach; a Master of Science in Communication Arts (1981) from Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York in Video and Non-Verbal Communication Theories; and a Bachelor of Art (1980) from the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York where she studied with photographer Roger Mertin receiving an Interdepartmental Degree in Economics, Fine Arts and English Literature. During her studies at the University of Rochester, she researched the Farm Security Administration’s collection at the George Eastman International Museum under the direction of Robert Doherty. Directly following graduate school she supported herself as a studio artist and was represented in New Orleans through Tilden-Foley Gallery and later the Res Nova Gallery. She concurrently taught sculpture at The Delgado School, before relocating to the Midwest to accept a position at the Herron School of Art where she is now a Chancellor’s Professor of Art. This fall Goodine will relocate to Greenville, North Carolina, East Carolina University to assume the Belk Professorship.
Goodine’s work has been presented at art fairs in Paris, New York, and Los Angeles under the representation of Lee Marks Fine Art. She purposely left the commercial gallery world of her early career to devote herself to teaching critical thinking to the next generations of artist-citizens. As an educator her pedagogy is informed by the idea that art education can greatly enhance individuals and world cultures through the development of self-worth, self-sufficiency, empowerment, and creativity. Her mentorship spans thirty years. Major external grants include the Florida State Art Council Individual Artist Grant (1985), New Forms Florida Grant collaboration with Chuck Badland (1990), inaugural recipient of an Aaron Siskind Foundation Fellowship (1992), The Southern Federation for the Arts Fellowship NEA (1991), Efroymson Fellowship/ Central Indiana Community Foundation (2005), Indianapolis Arts Council Individual Grant (2002, 2007), the Indiana Arts Commission Creative Renewal Grant (2003,2014), and the NEA Interarts Program/Rockefeller Foundation.
