Anna Moser is an artist, writer, and lecturer in English at the University of Sussex. She has previously taught at New York University and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Moser received her BA in Art and Literature from Yale University. She was also awarded an Ellen Battell Stoeckel Trust Fellowship to attend the Yale at Norfolk School of Art in 2010. After Yale, she developed her art practice while attending Cambridge University and NYU. Her art acknowledges a formal minimalist and color theory legacy which it also renegotiates, particularly by means of color experiments, use of transparency and opacity to mine the possibilities of illusionistic surface, imperfections and doublings, line, and local gesture.
Moser’s critical writings have focused on contemporary aesthetics, poetry and poetics, feminism, performance, and site-specific art. She has written and given papers on artists such as Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Eva Hesse, Paul Thek, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Robert Smithson. In Spring 2015, she co-curated the show “The Line of Beauty: Refiguring the Serpentine Line from Drawing into Photography,” at the Princeton University Art Museum. She has also worked collaboratively with the performer Sophie Seita, creating sculptures and set design for Seita’s play Les Bijoux Indiscrets, performed at Bold Tendencies (London, 2017) and Space Gallery (London, 2019).
