ABOUT Ann Rapstoff is an inter-disciplinary artist, her work is often concerned with constructing situations and responding to site and context. Her solo work and collaborative projects with artists, and those from other disciplines highlight her interest in communication, collaboration and facilitation. Ann's work is often process and research based. She is interested in the performative and intuitive aspects of inhabiting a situation, space, idea or word, appearing explicitly or anonymously. Past work has included navigating and facilitating chance meetings in crowd situations including festival sites, creating small changes in public spaces and disseminating sympathy to the public. In negotiating particular situations and sites, she attempts to engage and facilitate further possible histories related to identity, myth, narrative and ritual. Work takes the form of projects, workshops, events, installations, interventions, performances and situations. Writing is central to her work, and is a structure for ideas, appearing as sound, spoken word or in written form.
