Hello ︎ ︎

Mary Olin (Mo) Geiger is an artist currently based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She pursues experiential learning, collaborative projects, and opportunities to create site-specific artwork. Her projects have been produced and shown in galleries, museums, theaters, festivals, artist residencies, local organizations, and public or unconventional spaces such as farms, construction sites, crosswalks, parks, storefronts, and the shores of a human-made lake. An interdisciplinary practitioner with a background in theatrical design and sculpture, she holds an MFA from Portland State University in Art and Social Practice. From 2022-25, she was the Director of Collaborative Programs and Projects at Carlisle Arts Learning Center in Carlisle, PA. Currently, she is a co-artistic director and co-founder of the devised performance collective Valley Traction.

In her work, she seeks overlooked histories, hidden spectacular worlds, and people who are passionate about their own webs of unique knowledge. She maintains a  mentality of “work with what you have” which taps into waste streams and emphasizes cyclical, contextual relationships. Through research, shared labor, and play, her projects locate and nourish curiosity about the interconnected systems that shape daily life.
