Anna Bierler

ecologie - publicatie - experimenteel

Anna Bierler works with the medium of writing, through process based publishing, installations, reading groups and poetry. Her artistic practice stems from graphic design: she makes publications that explore how ecological narratives are experienced and disseminated. She focuses on the role language plays in the design of our imaginations and explores how using time as a design material can shape new perspectives that remedy fractured relationships with nature and alleviate eco-anxiety. Anna has taught at Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam; ArtEZ, Zwolle; the University of Antwerp and the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. She has hosted workshops at Zone2Source, Amsterdam; Hackers and Designers, Amsterdam; and StrandLab; Almere. Her work has been presented at Suzi Project Space, Amsterdam; Auftakt Festival Cologne; Onomatopoeia Eindhoven; Casco Art Institute in Utrecht; CLOUD Dance Lab in the Hague. Since 2022 Anna co-organizes the poetry collective OOOReading Club in Rotterdam
