Genevieve Waller

Genevieve Waller is an artist, writer, historian, and curator. She creates photograms (cameraless photographs), sculpture, drawings, and videos that deal with excess, substitution, transparency, and the status of everyday objects. She researches and writes about the aesthetic of camp, the history of gay culture, film, modern and contemporary art, and popular music. Originally from Wichita, Kansas, she received an undergraduate degree in art history at Wichita State University, a M.F.A. in photography and art history at Ohio University, and a M.A. in visual and cultural studies at the University of Rochester. She spent a year in Berlin, Germany as a Fulbright grantee and for many years has been a college radio DJ (most recently at Radio 1190 in Boulder).
