Dr. Marissa Vigneault is an art historian and Associate Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at Utah State University who works at the intersection of art, performance, and the politics of the body. Moving between photography, popular media, and live performance, she traces how images of gender and sexuality migrate from parlors and picture cards to stages, screens, and strip clubs, blurring the lines between high art and low culture. An Andre W. Mellon Senior Fellow at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2019-2020) and recipient of a Mellon Utah Presidential Leadership Fellowship (2023-2024), she has published widely on feminist-driven body, performance, video, and digital art. She continues to research and write on the pioneering feminist artist Hannah Wilke (1940-1993) and the visual and material history of nineteenth and early twentieth-century American cigarette and tobacco insert cards depicting Vaudeville and burlesque “beauties.” She also holds an MBA (2026) from the University of Utah, bringing an interdisciplinary lens to questions of cultural production, speculative value, and economics of the body.
