Performance artist Marilyn Arsem has been creating and performing live events for more than forty years and has presented her work in thirty countries around the globe. Many of her works are durational in nature, minimal in actions and materials, and have been created in response to specific sites, engaging with the immediate landscape and materiality of the location and its history. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, she also teaches performance art workshops internationally. Arsem taught performance art for 27 years at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, establishing an extensive curriculum in visually based performance. In 1975 Arsem founded an artist collaborative for experimentation, now known as Mobius Artists Group, of which she is still a member. A book on her work, Responding to Site: The Performance Work of Marilyn Arsem, edited by Jennie Klein and Natalie Loveless, was published in 2020 by Intellect Books of the UK.
