Gillian works as the dance editor of The Brooklyn Rail and as an editor of Gagosian Quarterly.
Born in San Francisco, Gillian grew up in Brooklyn. She graduated with high honors from the Residential College of the University of Michigan with a double major in Arts and Ideas in the Humanities (an interdisciplinary history of the visual, performing, and literary arts) and French Literature. She holds an M.A. from Columbia University, where she studied French and American cultural policy and religious diversity.
Her primary influence has been her childhood golden retriever, Ollie, with whom she grew up since the second grade. He is pictured here at his bar mitzvah.
