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. Biography Walsh is associate professor of New Genres in the Department of Art Practice at University of California, Berkeley, where she teaches video, graduate studies, and critical theory. She graduated from the California Institute of Arts, (MFA) and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (BA). She has curated exhibitions for OR Gallery, Vancouver; the Beall Center for Art and Culture at University of California, Irvine; the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies; New Langton Arts, San Francisco, and others. Walsh was an editor of X-Tra Contemporary Art Quarterly from 1997 to 2004, and has contributed criticism, reviews, and interviews regularly to the magazine. She is now a contributing editor to the publication. Walsh concerns herself with language and time. And where as the Met enshrines the traditional media of canonical art history—painting, sculpture, and physical artifact—Walsh instead makes innovative use of video, sound, and software to create art that, inherently ephemeral, resists the pull of the pedestal. By breaking down language and sensory experience into microscopic parts, divorced from any immediate physical or social context, her pieces have been called weird or disorienting. But over time, unlikely intimations of familiarity emerge. Recent solo exhibitions They, The Luggage Store Gallery, San Francisco, 2017 Walsh exhibited the process behind Hello Leonora, Soy Anne Walsh in They, which SFGate called “Surreal Documents” about the “very personal project for the artist, and absorbing on that psychological level.” Apprentice Crone's
