Suzanne Gold is a queer artist and educator living in Baltimore, MD and working internationally. She teaches Art History at the Baltimore School for the Arts, printmaking at Baltimore Print Studios, and Writing About Art at Towson University. Her art collective HAIR CLUB, an interdisciplinary, research-based initiative that examines the role of hair in art, culture and across histories, travels internationally to teach their unique curriculum about hair in culture. Suzanne's visual work has found its way onto book covers and into artist publications. Visual work and hair-themed research was most recently presented at Red Giant Gallery in Baltimore, MD, the Smart Museum of Art (Chicago, IL), ok-no Gallery (Chicago, IL), MoMA's R+D Salon Series #33: Hair (NYC), The Baltimore Jewelry Center Symposium (Baltimore, MD), and the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden Hirshhorn/AM artist lecture series (Washington, D.C.). Academic writing can be found in Socially Engaged Art History and Beyond: Alternative Approaches to the Theory and Practice of Art History (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020) and the forthcoming Hair Power: Culture, Materiality, Politics of Hair in Contemporary Art (Intellect Books, UK). Her first book of poetry and illustrations, ALLTALK, was published by Meekling Press (Chicago, IL) in 2022. Suzanne was the inaugural Artist-in-Residence with the University Writing Program at Johns Hopkins University for the 24-25 academic year, and is currently an Art21 Educator.
