Dana Mueller Robinson is a German visual artist and educator who resides and works in Boston, Massachusetts. She works primarily in photography with an interest in the complex nature of the image as representation, interpretation and speculation. Her research considers social identities affected by political upheaval, economic realities and shifting perceptions of belonging.
Mueller Robinson was born and raised in Thuringia, East Germany until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her long term project and upcoming book Edge of the Village examines narratives of former East Germans within the context of a vanished country, post wall experiences and the aftermaths of authoritarianism from the subjective - albeit relevant - point of view of the individual, and their communities.
Mueller Robinson received her MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her work was shown in solo and group exhibitions at the Le Lieu Unique/ National Center for Contemporary Arts, Nantes (FRA), the Pavillon de Bagatelle, Paris (FRA), Rick Wester Fine Art (NY), the Chase Center, RISD Museum of Art (RI), the Houston Center for Photography (TX), Bakalar Gallery, Massachusetts College of Art + Design (MA), Danforth Art Museum (MA), Black Cloud Gallery (IL) and Visual Art Exchange (NC), among others. She is the recipient of numerous awards and publications include her monograph May Days (Fraction Edition, 2018), and artist participation in Keeper Of the Hearth: Picturing Roland Barthes Unseen Photograph (editor Odette England, Schilt Publishing, 2020).
