PROPOSED GUEST ARTIST NAME: Olafur Eliasson
DESCRIPTION OF ARTIST’S PRACTICE / RESEARCH - Olafur Eliasson’s art is driven by his interests in perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self.

Eliasson’s works span sculpture, painting, photography, film, and installation. Not limited to the confines of the museum and gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through architectural projects, interventions in civic space, arts education, policy-making, and issues of sustainability and climate change.

PROPOSED GUEST ARTIST NAME: Metahaven
DESCRIPTION OF ARTIST’S PRACTICE / RESEARCH - Metahaven’s work encompasses the practices of filmmaking, writing, design, and installation, and is united conceptually by interests in poetry, storytelling, digital superstructures, and propaganda.

Their work is frequently exhibited and published throughout the world. - PLEASE INCLUDE RELEVANT LINKS: https://theinfluencers.org/en/metahaven ; https://www.instagram.com/metahaven/?hl=en ; https://www.frieze.com/article/what-metahaven

PROPOSED GUEST ARTIST NAME: Mika Rottemberg
DESCRIPTION OF ARTIST’S PRACTICE / RESEARCH - (not more than 250  words.) 

Argentina-born, New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg is devoted to a rigorous practice that combines film, architectural installation, and sculpture to explore ideas of labor and the production of value in our contemporary hyper-capitalist world. Using traditions of both cinema and sculpture, she seeks out locations around the world where specific systems of production and commerce are in place, such as a pearl factory in China, and a Calexico border town. Through the editing process, and with footage from sets built in her studio, Rottenberg connects seemingly disparate places and things to create elaborate and subversive visual narratives. By weaving fact and fiction together, she highlights the inherent beauty and absurdity of our contemporary existence. - PLEASE INCLUDE RELEVANT LINKS: https://mcachicago.org/Exhibitions/2019/Mika-Rottenberg-Easypieces/Described-Media/Cosmic-Generator

NOMINATING STUDENT'S NAME: Ariela

PROPOSED GUEST ARTIST NAME: Marisa Rubio
DESCRIPTION OF ARTIST’S PRACTICE / RESEARCH - (not more than 250  words.) 

Words that describe my current work are "nomadic" and "infiltration", regarding to the identities or heteronym by which I live and work. The method by which I operate from these identities is infiltration. My interest is to interact with different networks or dimensions into reality, through profiles designed for each case, and that this interaction is self-sustaining and independent of one another. Since 2008 I work on a project called "Teoría del quehacer actoral cotidiano para intérpretes”. It is a project in which I intend to investigate the margin of interpretation from the representation of an identity (Naranja Milano Questa) who carries out her acting career while developing her own theory about acting. She uses this theory in practice to function within the environment and interact with the arena of film, television, etc., resulting in a series of films, short films, music videos, TV programs and advertisements in which she participates. Besides the implicit reflections on her forays into the circuit of the performing arts, the content of this theory (which is still in development) is the result of his explorations and analysis on the performance limits offstage, where she creates and develops different identities or characters (such as Clara Smart, Helene Líndelen or other) that operates every day in the real world and from which she develops and builds the main themes of her theory. These characters interact with the real world so that most of them operate in a given circuit obtaining a small income.

NOMINATING  STUDENT'S NAME: Shannon

PROPOSED GUEST ARTIST NAME: Virginia Lee Montgomery

Working across video, performance, sound, and sculpture, her artwork is a research practice of feminist metaphysics. It is surreal, sensorial, and symbolic. While her artwork shifts in subject matter from ponytails to particle accelerators, to syrups, stones, moths and machines—VLM deploys an idiosyncratic visual vocabulary of repeating gestures like drilling, dousing, or reaching and recursive symbols like circles, holes and spheres. Her diverse artistic movements interrogate the complex relationship between physical and psychic structures, the poetics of physics, and the metaphysical connection between life's material and mental realms. New York, Texas /https://www.virginialeemontgomery.com/ You can schedule guests across the whole of the calendar year 2021 (your budget is good until Dec 2021) Following the online nomination process, you need to collectively meet on ZOOM and make an agreed list of who you collectively want to invite.
