Life and Art
In 1973 she graduated from the Boston University (BFA). She has performed live since 1975.[2] In 1977 Arsem founded the Mobius Artists Group, an interdisciplinary collaborative of artists.[3] She was also Head and Graduate Advisor of the Performance Art Department at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where she taught performance art.[4]
Since the beginning of the twentieth century she has focused on site-specific art, responding to the history or politics of the country, engaging with the immediate landscape and materiality of the location. Sites have included a former Cold War missile base in the United States, a 15th-century Turkish bath in Macedonia, an aluminum factory in Argentina, and the site of the Spanish landing in the Philippines.[5][6]
She took part in many festivals, and performed in different cities on over the world.[7]
She was awarded the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s Maud Morgan Prize 2015. The award, a $10,000 cash prize plus an exhibition at the museum, is given every other year to a Massachusetts woman artist active for a decade or more.[8]
