Faye R. Gleisser is an Associate Professor of Art History at Indiana University Bloomington, where she is also affiliated with the Cultural Studies Program, Critical Race and Postcolonial Studies, and the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society. Her interdisciplinary scholarship bridges art history, critical race theory, and performance studies to examine the intersections of visual culture, political power, and racial formation in the United States.
Dr. Gleisser received her academic training at prestigious institutions:
- Ph.D., Northwestern University, 2016
- M.A., George Washington University, 2009
- B.A., Washington University in St. Louis, 2006
Her research centers on modern and contemporary art with a specialization in American art, critical race theory, and the art and theory of the African Diaspora. Gleisser investigates how artists deploy guerrilla tactics, navigate punitive systems, and challenge anti-Black societal structures through their work. Her scholarship critically examines the racial logics embedded in art historical methodologies, archival practices, and curatorial ethics. She approaches art as a material manifestation of sociopolitical conditions, analyzing how artists function as theorists of power and social encounter. In her teaching, Gleisser emphasizes the importance of questioning what we cannot know about artworks, developing pedagogical approaches that challenge traditional art historical frameworks.
As an award-winning scholar, Gleisser's work has been recognized with the 2024 ASAP Book Prize for her groundbreaking monograph Risk Work: Making Art and Guerrilla Tactics in Punitive America, 1967-1987, which was also shortlisted for the Charles C. Eldredge Prize and the Charles Rufus Morey Book Award. Her research has been supported by prestigious fellowships including the CAHI/Kinsey Institute Research Fellowship (2023), the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center Fellowship (2017), and the ACLS/Henry Luce Foundation Dissertation Fellowship (2013-2014).
Dr. Gleisser maintains an active curatorial practice and has taught a diverse range of courses including 'Imaging Race: 20th and 21st Century History of Photography,' 'Hormones and Perception: Contemporary Art and Somatic Knowing,' and 'Radical Resourcefulness: Artists and the City.' Her current research explores the intersection of hormonal representations, lens-based contemporary art, and the criminalization of gestational bodies, as well as the politics of care work within artist residencies.
