Marilyn Arsem is an American contemporary artist. She creates live events, performances, makes installations, site-specific, interactive art. Her works were presented throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America, and in the Middle East. [1]
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 twenty-first 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.

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]
