Marilyn Arsem has been creating live events since 1975. Her more than 200 works have ranged from solo performances to large-scale site-specific works incorporating installation and performance. Based in Boston, USA, Arsem has presented work in 30 countries at festivals, alternative spaces, galleries, museums, universities, and conferences, both in person and virtually. Her works are often durational, centering minimal actions and materials, and frequently have a site-specific element. Arsem is a member and the founder of Mobius, Inc. (1975 – ), a Boston-based collaborative of interdisciplinary artists. She taught at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for 27 years, establishing one of the most extensive programs internationally in visually-based performance art.
