Anne Beffel is interestsed in viewer-participants’ interactions with manipulated everyday objects. These objects are juxtaposed with modified narratives gathered from the media, interviews, and casual conversations. Anne invites viewer-participants to examine and question the roles they play within hierarchies, and to consider how these roles manifest themselves in our daily gestures of work, care and consumption. She places her work within domestic, commercial and institutional spaces.

Professor Beffel received her BFA in painting from the University of Michigan and an MFA in painting from the University of Iowa with emphasis on installation art. She participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Studio Program
