Monika Weiss is a Polish-American artist trained as both a pianist and visual artist. Working with the rituals of lamentation as a central theme of her work, Monika Weiss’ practice includes video and self-composed sound, performance, drawing, and public projects. As described in her artist bio, the central theme of her work “moves between the political and the poetic to explore questions of the body, history and gendered violence.”

Monika Weiss lives and works in New York and has a professorship at Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts in St. Louis. Her work has been featured in over 90 exhibitions worldwide, with solo shows at museums and galleries such as CAA Zamek Ujazdowski, Warsaw; Lehman College Art Gallery, New York; and Museum of Memory & Human Rights, Santiago, Chile. Frequent visitors of Missouri State’s Brick City Gallery may also recognize her work from the fall 2021 exhibition, emerging.poetic.
