Anna Reutinger

Anna Reutinger (°1991, Oakland) tints social, material and historical moments into tales with many voices and shades. Working with second hand textiles and glass, natural dyes, scrap metal, agricultural byproducts, social encounters and distant histories, she enacts a hands-on approach to research—highlighting craft as seed for social, material and environmental sensitivity. From large-scale installations to performative workshops and film, she traces connections between textile craft and civil disobedience, the time-scales of materials and bodies, and what traces can be left and gleaned from those on the periphery of historical record.

She is a tutor in the Dirty Art Department at the Sandberg Instituut where she also received her M.A. in 2016 after a B.A. in Design Media Arts and Digital Humanities at UCLA in 2013. She has held residence at Triangle – Astérides, Marseille, FR—Rupert, Vilnius, LT—and Jan van Eyck, Maastricht, NL. Her work has been exhibited at the CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, FRAC Corsica, Saint Etienne Biennale, FR—MKG Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, DE—W139, De Fabriek, NL—Ausstellungsraum Klingental, CH—Macao Milano, IT—The Hammer Museum, The Getty Center, The New Wight Gallery, Los Angeles, US.
