PALS 2014 workshop tutors
Marilyn Arsem (USA)
Marilyn Arsem has been creating live events since 1975, from solo gallery performances to large-scale, site-specific works. Arsem has presented work at festivals, conferences, alternative spaces, galleries, museums and universities in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Most recently she has focused on creating site-specific performances, often in the context of festivals. These works are not planned in advance, but made in response to a location that is selected on arrival.
She is a member (and founder) of Mobius, Inc., a Boston-based collaborative of interdisciplinary artists. As a full-time faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, she heads the Performance Area and is a Graduate Advisor.
Elin Wikström (Sweden)
Elin Wikström’s art practice deals with being subjected to constructed situations and has the format of interventions in various venues, spaces or context. Negotiation and participatory-driven processes are keywords in her art practice. The acts and speech acts that she’s carrying out are often everyday life actions with a twist or simple actions that are repeated in absurdum. For Elin Wikström working in this format is an attempt to questions norms, values and logics for how we speak, think and act, on an individual level as well as in society at large and to trigger reflections on current social, political, environmental and cultural issues. The reasons for her behind developing such methods have been an effort to representing individuals and groups as active subjects able to critically question and change their understanding of themselves and the world around them in order to become aware of conditions they previously had less knowledge and experience of. What is motivating Elin Wikström to further develop artistic methods within this field is that wherever societal transformations take place, small or large, there is consequently a compelling need for individuals and communities to actively participate in decision-making processes.
Examples of ricent works of Elin Wikström:
Emscherkunst 2013, Dinslaken, Oberhausen, Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen (www.emscherkunst.de ),
Street Level Nr I. – PARKOUR ++++, Mobile Art Production, Göteborg, 2012 (http://mobileartproduction.se/en/projekt/street-level-nr-1-parkour/ ),
Living as Form, Creative Time, Essex Street Market, New York 2011 (http://creativetime.org ).
