Anna Schuleit is a German-born artist. She was named a MacArthur Fellow by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, receiving a $500,000 “no strings attached” award. Schuleit is known for bringing historic sites to life through original artistic interpretations. She is currently a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute, where she is working on a series of paintings and drawings.
In much of her work to date, Schuleit has honored the lives lived within mental health institutions by transforming abandoned facilities into moving, site-specific memorials. Her powerful public works are designed to endure not as objects but as vivid memories. She has been an artist-in-residence and fellow at such institutions as the Blue Mountain Center (1998), Banff Center for the Arts (1999), the Corporation of Yaddo (2005), and the MacDowell Colony (2002, 2006).
