Faye Gleisser (she/her) is Associate Professor of Art History and Critical Theory at Indiana University, Bloomington, where she is an affiliate of the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society and American Studies. Gleisser is an interdisciplinary art historian and curator of 20th and 21st century art, specializing in the history and theory of political violence in the U.S., and expressions of gendered and sexualized raciality in visual art and material culture. Her research has appeared in a number of exhibition catalogues, as well as in Art Journal, Artforum, Journal of Visual Culture, Women & Performance, and Aperture, and is forthcoming in October and ASAP/J. Her first book, Risk Work: Making Art and Guerrilla Tactics in Punitive America, 1967-1987 (University of Chicago Press, 2023) analyzes the relationship of policing, state power, and guerrilla art practice in the United States. In her current book project, "The Color of Hormones," Gleisser is tracing the entanglements of contemporary art, state surveillance, hormonal management, and somatic abolitionist praxis.
