Artist / Senior Information Coordinator
Alex Roediger maintains a unique dual career as both an accomplished landscape painter and Senior Information Coordinator at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). As a painter, he specializes in creating quick, impressionistic oil paintings that capture the essence of landscapes through bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. His artistic practice includes plein air painting, watercolor works, and digital sketches, with a particular focus on capturing natural scenes with spontaneity and expression. At MoMA, he plays a vital role in analyzing and sharing visitor behavior analytics across departments, bringing a data-driven approach to museum operations. His deep understanding of art is evident in his contributions to MoMA's educational content, including his thoughtful analysis of works like Helen Frankenthaler's "Jacob's Ladder," where he demonstrates his ability to bridge traditional painting techniques with abstract expressionism. His work as an artist includes various series such as plein air works, watercolor summer series, and lunchtime sketches, and he offers small landscape commissions for special occasions. Roediger's unique position allows him to combine his practical experience as a working artist with his professional role in one of the world's leading art institutions
Design Curator and Sustainability Advocate
Anna Burckhardt serves as a Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), where she specializes in contemporary design with a focus on sustainability and restorative practices. Her academic background includes an MA in Visual Culture from New York University, where she researched Latin American textile design, and a Bachelor of Laws from Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. She has made significant contributions to major exhibitions, including co-curating "Broken Nature" with Paola Antonelli, which explored the concept of restorative design and humanity's relationship with nature. Her expertise in sustainable design is evident in her work examining how design can repair connections between humans and other species, while maintaining formal elegance and functionality. Burckhardt advocates for circularity in design and the innovative use of waste materials, as demonstrated through her curation of projects like Studio Formafantasma's "Ore Streams" and Kosuke Araki's "Anima." Her upcoming research focuses on design's role in energy harnessing and its relationship to power structures, while she continues to promote sustainable practices in museum operations and exhibition design.
