Before that, she was Chief Curator at The Drawing Center in New York where, over the past fourteen years, she oversaw the museum’s curatorial program, organizing more than fifty exhibitions and public programs and authoring numerous catalogues. Projects ranged from first U.S. solo museum exhibitions of artists such as Huguette Caland, Rashid Johnson, and Cecily Brown, commissioned projects by Torkwase Dyson, Eddie Martinez, and Naudline Pierre, as well as conceptually-driven group shows including Ways of Seeing: Three Takes on the Jack Shear Drawing Collection (October, 2021-February, 2022), The Pencil Is a Key: Drawings by Incarcerated Artists (2019) (co-organized with The Drawing Center’s curatorial team), and For Opacity: Elijah Burgher, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, and Toyin Ojih Odutola (2018). Gilman holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught art history and critical theory at Columbia; the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the Corcoran College of Art and Design; The Museum of Modern Art; and the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in addition to lecturing on modern and contemporary art throughout the country and overseas. She has written for Art Journal, CAA Reviews, Documents, Frieze, and October and has authored numerous essays for art books and museum exhibitions. Her book Drawing in the Present Tense, co-authored with Roger Malbert, was recently published by Thames and Hudson.
