ACHIEVEMENTS
GPRC faculty not only share their wisdom in the classroom but contribute to their professions and academic fields nationally and internationally. Here are just a few highlights from the past year.
MARINA FRIDMAN Although 2018-19 marked her first academic year with GPRC, visual arts instructor Marina Fridman has already made an impression with her achievements. In 2018, the drawing and sculpture artist received both the $5,000 Manifest ONE Prize and the $18,000 Elizabeth Greenshields Award for outstanding artwork. It was Fridman’s third time winning the Greenshields Award, a feat achieved by fewer than 100 artists worldwide. Around the same time, Fridman also accepted an invitation to complete a two-week artists’ residency in Israel, where she met artists from around the world. During her residency, Fridman created a unique installation in a gallery elevator using staircases and soft, surreal lighting, which causes the viewer to experience “mystical” shifts in perspective as they enter the space.
