Winslow Garage is pleased to present a selection of films and sculptural works by Malado Francine Baldwin-Tejeda. The daughter of Peace Corps volunteers and development workers, Malado spent her childhood in Senegal and Mali. Her diverse cultural background becomes a rich source for her telling of personal narratives as presented through larger cultural myths and histories. Beautiful, highly researched, and richly textured, Malado's work draws us into stories where symbolic artifacts from one culture can be reworked by another. New meaning is created in objects by allowing cultures to mix in surprising ways. Malado Baldwin is an American multi-media artist based in Los Angeles. She received a BA in comparative literature from Swarthmore College, and an MFA in painting from the New York Studio School. Recent projects include curating an inaugural show of female-identifying artists called: “X Marks the Spot: Women of the New York Studio School,” a film screening at FAIR PLAY Miami Basel, an article in Hyperallergic.com, and a publication and reading for 7x7.LA at the Torrance Art Museum. Recent group shows include Hackett Mill San Francisco and KeyHole Gallery in Brooklyn. Her early film work was acquired as a part of Miranda July's Joanie4Jackie feminist film archive at Bard College and the Getty Research Institute. She is the recipient of the Buckingham Prize for music in art, and the Eugene Lang Scholarship for community service. Her new artist book "L'Amour Encore" (Love Again) is available on Blurb.
