Andrea Geyer lives and works in New York. She uses both fiction and documentary strategies in her image- and text-based works. Her works are temporal translations of specific social and political situations that address larger concepts such as national identity, gender, and class in the context of the ongoing re-adjustment of cultural meanings and social memories. Recent works include “Comrades of Time,” a group of seven video vignettes in which young New York women speak texts from the 1920s Weimar Republic Germany. Reflecting on that historic post-revolutionary moment, the work contemplates the need of a political imaginary to instigate true social change. “Criminal Case 40/61: Reverb,” a six-channel video, engages the historic trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem (1961) and the questions it raised about the relationship of truth and justice and about the responsibility an individual carries within a nation state. "Spiral Lands" is a photographic and textual historiography of the ongoing dispossession of lands from indigenous people by colonization, governmentality, and capitalist development that constitute one of the longest struggles for social justice in North America. Her collaborative work "9 Scripts from a Nation at War" is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Her work has been exhibited most notably at Tramway, Glasgow, 29th Sao Paulo Biennale, UAG Gallery Irvine, RedCat/Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Modern, Serpentine Gallery London, Generali Foundation, Secession Vienna, and documenta 12 Kassel. This May, she will do a performance in the context of Arika's curated "A Survey as a Process of Listening" at the 2012 Whitney Biennial. Geyer is an assistant professor in the Parsons Fine Arts program at Parsons the New School for Design.
