About Christopher Giglio
I am an artist, photographer, and educator with over 25 years of experience in the classroom. As a teacher, I aim to foster creative problem solving and help students develop their own voice, while maintaining clear goals and high expectations.
The Grammar of Photography is my effort to provide a strong foundation for photographers—one that connects the practice of making images with the ideas that shape them.
I currently teach at the International Center of Photography in New York and through private classes. I have previously taught in BFA and MFA programs at Parsons School of Design, Cooper Union, and Ohio University, as well as in the Professional Studies program at Pratt Institute.
My photography has been exhibited in over 35 gallery and institutional venues, including the Museum of Modern Art, the California Museum of Photography, and the New Museum. I have had solo exhibitions at James Danziger Gallery (New York), Marion Locks Gallery (Philadelphia), and Hallwalls (Buffalo).
I have received grants from Art Matters, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, the Aaron Siskind Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Permanent collections include the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Princeton University Art Museum, AT&T Technology Center (Washington, DC), and Centro Cultural/Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City). My work has been published in Blind Spot, Visionaire, and Exit magazines, among others.
