Alicia Marván (Mexico/USA) is an artist and curator dedicated to contemporary and experimental practices. Her interdisciplinary approach to art/life has led her to an ongoing investigation of a variety of media that explores color, space, form, movement, time and thought. Always interested in the dialogue between art and life, as well as the interaction between performer/space/viewer, her work often appears in alternative spaces such as urban, industrial and natural settings.
She is currently Director of the Guapamacátaro Interdisciplinary Residency in Art and Ecology (Mexico), Associate Artist with Lower Left Performance Collective (worldwide), and collaborates with independent artists from different disciplines. She studied Dance and Performance Art and has trained on the field as a photographer and graphic designer at renowned design, architecture and performing arts companies such as Gluckman Mayner Architects and Julia Mandle Performance (NYC). Influential teachers and artists include Robert Wilson, Pina Bausch, Gordon Matta-Clark, Wolfgang Laib, Maya Lin, Andy Goldsworthy, Trisha Brown, Nina Martin, Mary Reich, Rachel Rosenthal, Mary Overlie, Anna Halprin and Diego Piñón.
Her work has been presented by Movement Research, DanceNow/NYC, DUMBO Dance Festival and BRIC studio in New York; Highways and The Electric Lodge in Los Angeles; Sushi Performance and Visual Art, Sledgehammer Theater, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Celebrate Dance Festival in San Diego; The University of the Americas Puebla (UDLAP), IntegrARTE and the Festival of Feminist and Kitsch Art in Mexico.
I am excited to report that we're expanding our capacity to two sites in the Guapamacataro valley!!! This means accommodating 20 artists in residence instead of 10. The two sites are about 30 minutes apart by vehicle. Following is the roster of selected participants per site:
