“Marilyn Arsem: 100 Ways to Consider Time” debuts a new durational performance by the MFA’s 2015 Maud Morgan Prize recipient. Established in 1993 in recognition of the spirit of adventure and independence embodied by noted New England artist Maud Morgan (1903–99), the Prize honors a Massachusetts woman artist who has demonstrated creativity and vision, making significant contributions to the contemporary arts landscape.
Arsem (born 1951) is the first performance artist to receive the Prize. She has been a fundamental figure in the field of performance art since the late 1970s, and was a faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA) for 27 years. Having performed 180 pieces around the world over the last three decades, she has had an enormous impact on multiple generations of performance artists in Boston and internationally. Founder of Mobius, a Boston-area collaborative of interdisciplinary artists, Arsem has been central to maintaining the presence of performance art locally and nationally when the art form struggled for recognition and funding.
During the exhibition, Arsem will be physically present in Gallery 261 for six hours a day, for 100 days total. Be sure to stop by and see this exciting work of performance art.
