Anne Walsh

Anne Walsh (born 1962, New York City) is an American visual artist who works with video, performance, audio, photography, and text.

Her works often re-mediate the works and lives of other artists and her own family. Walsh has said that her artistic medium is “study.” Walsh's book ''Hello Leonora, Soy Anne Walsh'' (2019, no place press/MIT Press) epitomizes the aggressively indexical, personal, and analytical nature of her practice. A visual and written ‘adaptation’ of Leonora Carrington's 1950 fantastical feminist novella ''The Hearing Trumpet'', the book traces Walsh's decade-long, multi-part response to the novella—including meeting the author and corresponding with her. Other recent adaptations include Walsh's live performances with poet Jocelyn Saidenberg of Camille Roy's play ''Sometimes Dead is Better'', and her video installation ''Anthem'', in which Walsh performed, with a troupe of Oakland elders, the Oscar-winning song Let It Go, from the 2014 Disney film ''Frozen''.

In addition to exhibiting her work nationally and internationally, Walsh is associate professor of Art Practice at UC Berkeley. Provided by Wikipedia
