Ann’s work has been presented throughout the United States and in Canada, Mexico, and Europe. She is the recipient of the grand prize at the XX VideoArt Festival in Locarno, Switzerland, a Massachusetts Cultural Council Media Fellowship, a LEF grant, and a fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

"I work almost exclusively with found footage of every kind (educational and industrial films, feature film and home movies). Once I have appropriated the footage I practice the art of montage with great pleasure reconfiguring the explicit message of the films. The resulting work offers a critique of gender roles, systems of communication and dubious technological advancements. " -Ann Steuernagel
