Eva Heisler is a U.S. poet and art critic based near Heidelberg, Germany.

Her critical writings include an art historical examination of Icelandic conceptualism for the five-volume History of Icelandic Art (National Gallery of Iceland, 2011), "Doubled Bodies and Live Loops: On Ragnar Kjartansson's Mediatized Performances" in BASTARD OR PLAYMATE?
