Anna Schuleit Haber studied painting at the Rhode Island School of
Design, creative writing/book arts at Dartmouth College, and was a fellow at
the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard. Her works have ranged
from museum installations made with paint, to large-scale projects in forests,
on uninhabited islands, and in psychiatric institutions, using extensive sound
systems, live sod, thousands of flowers, mirrors, antique telephones, bodies of
water, and neuroscience technologies. She was named a MacArthur Fellow for work
that has “conceptual clarity, compassion, and beauty.”
Schuleit Haber has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony,
Bogliasco, Blue Mountain Center, The Hermitage, Yaddo, Banff, and a visiting artist/guest
lecturer at Brown University, MIT, Smith College, Harvard’s Graduate School of
Design, The New School, Brandeis, University of Michigan, McGill, RISD, Boston
University, Pratt, Bowdoin, and Syracuse University. Her writings have appeared
in the Virginia Quarterly Review, The Believer, the Massachusetts Review, Agni,
and in Urban Infill, the journal of the Cleveland Urban Design Center. She was
recently embedded in a small-town newsroom where she staged a serial
'take-over' of 26 front pages in collaboration with typographers from around
the world, poets, writers, journalists, local citizens and students. Upcoming
projects revolve around seriality and memory, and include commissions in the
city of Copenhagen (DK) and other architectural settings in the U.S. Her works
are included in private collections in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia,
as well as in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. She is based in New Orleans and
New Hampshire.
