Danielle Mysliwiec received her BA from Wesleyan University and her MFA from Hunter College. She is best known for her paintings that combine the rigorous structure of weaving with the malleable properties of oil paint to produce tactile, visual, and associative abstractions that question the familiarity of either form. Solo exhibitions include Brintz+County (Palm Beach, Florida), Novella Gallery, (New York, New York), Vox Populi Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), and Kent State University (Kent, Ohio) among others. Selected fairs and group exhibitions include Untitled Art Fair, (Miami, Florida), Asya Geisberg Gallery (New York, New York), Good Naked Gallery (New York, New York), McKenzie Fine Art (New York, New York), Mixed Greens Gallery (New York, New York), Transmitter Gallery (Brooklyn, New York), Rockelmann & (Berlin, Germany), and The Center for Craft, Creativity, and Design (Asheville, North Carolina). Mysliwiec’s paintings have been featured and reviewed in publications including The Brooklyn Rail, Maake Magazine, New American Paintings, Inertia, Art Fag City, The Washington Post, and B’more Art. Mysliwiec has also been a contributor to the Brooklyn Rail. Awards include fully funded residencies to the Tides Institute & Museum, Long Meadow Art Residency, the Surf Point Foundation, and the Pollock Krasner Fellowship at The Vermont Studio Center as well as grants from the DC Commission on Arts & Humanities and Montgomery County Arts and Humanities Commission. From 2005-2011, Mysliwiec was a co-founder of Brainstormers, a four-person feminist activist collaborative that staged protests and social practice pieces throughout New York. In addition to their interactive street performances, their work was included in exhibitions at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, The Brooklyn Museum’s Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Momenta Art, Rutgers University and others. Notable books highlighted their activism in the art world. These include Ben Davis’s White Walls Glass Ceiling, Linda Nochlin and Maura Reilly’s Global Feminisms: New Directions In Contemporary Art, and Mira Schor’s A Decade of Negative Thinking: Essays on Art, Politics, and Daily Life. In addition, their work was featured in articles in Artnews, Artnet News, The Brooklyn Rail, and The Huffington Post. Mysliwiec is currently on the board of Interlude Artist Residency, a residency supporting parent artists. She lives and works between Brooklyn, New York and Takoma Park, MD.
