Marilyn Arsem has been creating live events since 1975, ranging from solo performances, to large scale, site-specific works incorporating installation and performance. Arsem has presented work at festivals, conferences, alternative spaces, galleries, museums and universities in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
In many of her recent gallery performances, Arsem has focused on current political issues. Her site-specific performances, often designed for audiences of a single person, respond to both the history of the site, as well as to the immediate landscape and materiality of the location. The pieces are designed to implicate the audience directly in the concerns of the work, to create an experience that is both visceral and intellectual. She incorporates a broad range of media, and often engages all the senses.
In 2010 she performed in Live Action New York, at PerfoLink?s Alumni Festival Internacional de Arte de Performance in Chile and Uruguay; Infr?action Festival International d?Art Performance in Sète, France; and Articule Gallery, Montreal, Canada. In 2009 she performed in Taiwan?s On the Way: ArTrend International Performance Art Meeting. In 2008 she performed at the Asiatopia 10th Performance Art Festival, Thailand; the 7a*11d Festival of Performance Art, Canada; and the ZAZ 08 International Performance Art Festival, Israel. In 2007 and 2008 she performed at the National Review of Live Art in Glasgow, Scotland, UK; in 2007 at the DaDao Festival in Bejing and Hong Kong, China; the Ensemble of Women in Santiago, Chile, and the LIVE Biennial in Vancouver, BC, Canada. In 2006 she performed at the International Festival ?In the Context of Art/The Difference,? in Warsaw, Poland; the14th Performance Art Conference, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; the Acción!06MAD Festival in Madrid, Spain; at ?Là-bas: Peak Performance??
