Vanessa Reubendale specializes in twentieth-century American art, focusing on performance, intermedia, and questions of artistic labor. In her scholarship, she has aimed to find creative and surprising connections between dance, popular culture, politics, and the visual arts in order to think differently about the art historical canon. Inclusivity and thinking across disciplines are central to both her scholarship and teaching, which integrate methodologies from art history, American studies, and dance theory.
At Carleton since 2024.
