Marianne Vitale (born 1973) is an American artist living and working in New York City.
Vitale graduated from The School of Visual Arts in 1996 with a BFA in Film. [1]
For the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Vitale exhibited the video Patron. Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker wrote: "The most prepossessing is an energetic performance by...Vitale, who...harangues 'patrons' with colorfully worded...insults and commands. The provoked notion of contemporary art as an arena of sadomasochism is just cogent enough to chill, a trifle." [2]
Vitale's ongoing sculptural series of Burned Bridges has been part of several solo gallery and museum exhibitions including What I Need to Do Is Lighten The Fuck Up About A Lot of Shit at Zach Feuer; Bright Dark Future at Le Confort Moderne; If You Expect To Rate as a Gentleman, Do Not Expectorate On the Floor at Unge Kunstneres Samfund; Lost Marbles at Le Marbrerie, Montreuil; and Huey, Dewey & Louie at Kunstraum Innsbruck.
Her solo show, Diamond Crossing at Zach Feuer (2013), was applauded by the New York Times' Ken Johnson as “approaching a near-perfect 10…occupy[ing] the space with awesome implacability…[and] art-historical sophistication.” [3]
For the Performa '13 Biennial, Vitale was commissioned to produce The Missing Book of Spurs, a performance set in a "saloon/[brothel]/weather station." [4]
Other venues that have exhibited Vitale's work include Venus Over Los Angeles, [5] The Contemporary Austin, [6] The Journal Gallery, Karma, Various Small Fires, the Elaine de Kooning House, the Rubell Family Collection, Kling & Bang, White Columns, Brooklyn Museum, Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin, Mosquito Coast Factory and Contemporary Art Centre Vilnius. [1]
From April 2014 through March 2015, Vitale's outdoor sculptural exhibition Common Crossings was presented on the High Line in New York City, curated by Cecilia Alemani. [7]
In 2019 the city of Savenay, France commissioned Vitale to create Worthies, a public, permanent installation. On this occasion, a book entitled The World, the Flesh and the Devil was published by American Art Catalogues. Also in 2019 Vitale was working with Agathe Snow on projects including "Double Vision" including paintings and drawings, some made with food items like mustard and coffee grounds. [8] [9]

Guadalupe Maravilla, formerly known as Irvin Morazan is a transdisciplinary visual artist, choreographer, and healer. At the age of eight, Maravilla was part of the first wave of unaccompanied, undocumented children to arrive at the United States border in the 1980s as a result of the Salvadoran Civil War. In 2016, Maravilla became a U.S. citizen and adopted the name Guadalupe Maravilla in solidarity with his undocumented father, who uses Maravilla as his last name. As an acknowledgment to his past, Maravilla grounds his practice in the historical and contemporary contexts belonging to undocumented communities and the cancer community. Combining pre-colonial Central American ancestry, personal mythology, and collaborative performative acts, Maravilla’s performances, objects, and drawings trace the history of his own displacement and that of others. Culling the entangled fictional and autobiographical genealogies of border crossing accounts, Maravilla nurtures collective narratives of trauma into celebrations of perseverance and humanity. Across all media, Maravilla explores how the systemic abuse of immigrants physically manifests in the body, reflecting on his own battle with cancer, which began in his gut. Maravilla’s large-scale sculptures, titled Disease Throwers, function as headdresses, instruments, and shrines through the incorporation of materials collected from sites across Central America, anatomical models, and sonic instruments such as conch shells and gongs. These Disease Throwers ultimately serve as symbols of renewal, generating therapeutic, vibrational sound.
Ryan Ponder McNamara is an American artist known for fusing dance, theater, and history into situation-specific, collaborative performances.
