Anna Campbell

Anna Campbell is an artist, designer, and professor based in Teejop/ Madison, WI and Lenapehoking/ NYC. Campbell’s sculptures, installations, and ephemera mine queer history and desire. Using material metaphors evoked through scaffold, found objects, and digitally fabricated forms, they construct immersive, exploded diagrams of archives for queer and feminist histories that might have existed. Their ephemera, or prefigurative merch, often marks fabulated sites, and creates rhizomatic and itinerant installations that insist on intimate engagement and the dailyness of queer survival. Campbell’s forthcoming projects focus on queer publics formed around New York’s Riis Beach, and London’s lesbian bars in the 1970s.

Campbell’s work is in the collections of the Leslie Lohman Museum, the MoMA Library, the Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and their site-specific, bronze sculpture is permanently installed at the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn.
