Gail Albert Halaban

人物生平

, 1970

Gail Albert Halaban (b. 1970) is a renowned American fine art photographer. Her decades-long career has yielded a body of work dedicated to the stark and ongoing contrast between privacy and interpersonal connection as an inherent part of urban life, and the broader relationship between individual and collective identity.
Raised in Washington, D.C., Albert Halaban attended Rhode Island School of Design, and later received both a BA and MFA from Brown University and Yale University, respectively. Under tutelage from Nan Goldin and Gregory Crewdson while at Yale, Albert Halaban honed her practice and direction, aiming to toe the intersection between Goldin’s realistic documentarian approach and Crewdson’s mastery of staged narratives. With her resulting series Out My Window, an ongoing project from 2007, Albert Halaban collaborates with tenants of shared urban living spaces to capture a voyeuristic glimpse into their shared and simultaneous lives, each subject representing unique fragments of a collective identity: neighbors, city-dwellers, and human beings living an inarguably linked experience.
Gail Albert Halaban’s work has been extensively exhibited for decades, and remains in private and public collections including the Hermes Foundation, George Eastman Museum, Yale University Art Gallery, Nelson Atkins Museum, Getty Museum, Cape Ann Museum, and Wichita Art Museum; her work has been featured in multiple publications including Time, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal, and The Huffington Post. Albert Halaban currently lives and works in New York City, where she also teaches in the Medicinal Humanities Department at Columbia University.
