Anne Glassner is a visual artist and performer born in Vienna in 1984. She studied Art History at the University of Vienna; studied Art & Communication at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (graduated 2008); and earned a Master of Fine Arts (painting) at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (graduated 2016).
Her performances, videos, installations, and drawings utilize intensive observations of recurring everyday actions. The theme of sleep has been a focal point of her artistic work for some time, which she expresses, among other ways, through sleep performances. These allow others to observe her sleeping in unusual places. In her works, she blurs the boundaries between art and life, fiction and reality, and raises questions about self-perception and external perception, as well as the intersections between the private and the public.
In 2023/24, she was awarded the Valie Export Center Scholarship in Linz, in 2021, the recognition prize of the province of Lower Austria for Fine Arts, and in 2018, the MUSA Prize in Vienna.
