Johanna Gosse's research sits at the intersection of modern and contemporary art history and film and media studies. Before arriving at the University of Idaho, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University and a Visiting Assistant Professor and Scholar-in-Residence at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Gosse is currently working on two book projects: the first, Imitation of Life: Ray Johnson and Network Aesthetics, was awarded an Arts Writers Grant from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation in 2016. The second, tentatively entitled American Sky: Surveillance and Democracy in Postwar Media Art, analyzes the surveillant optic in works of postwar experimental film, video, and new media art.
Ph.D., History of Art, Bryn Mawr College, 2014.
