GILHOOLY, “Magellanic Dog,” 1988

David Gilhooly (American 1943-2013)

Gilhooly was born in Auburn, California. He  graduated from the University of California, Davis with a BA in 1965 and an MA in 1967. Together with Robert Arneson, Peter Vandenberge, Chris Unterseher and Margaret Dodd, working together in TB-9 (temporary building 9) they were later to be called, “The Funk Ceramic Movement of the San Francisco Bay Area.”  David left TB-9 for one semester to become Manuel Neri’s assistant and started making things out of lumber, fur, neon lights and asbestos shingles.  In 1969, he took a teaching position at the University of Saskatchewan, in Regina, Canada, followed by seven years at York University, Toronto.

In 1982 Gilhooly started exploring Plexiglas as a printing surface, but still produced a multitude of ceramic pieces, and continued to explore. His works on paper were prolific from 1984 on….

Curriculum Vitae

Below is the C.V. that everyone has been asking for lately. Why? I don’t know. NOBODY ever looks at a C.V. and even less take the time to read it, yet you ask. So, if you absolutely must have my C.V., here it is. Read it carefully! I have mercifully abbreviated it for you. This represents two days’ worth of typing and formatting, not to mention the HTML and CSS unique to this page and this page alone. (I give and I give…) I even had to look stuff up in my files. Man, I felt like I was doing homework! You have permission to print out a copy especially if you’re a student writing a paper and you need the extra padding.
