Über den Autor
Tania Bruguera's performances question the possibility of political representation while attempting to collapse the distance between art and life, and erode institutionalized injustice. Born in Cuba, she now lives and works in New York and Havana. Bruguera studied at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana, then earned an MFA in performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the founder and director of Arte de Conducta, the first performance studies program in Latin America, which is hosted by Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana. From 2003 to 2010, she was an assistant professor at the Department of Visual Arts of the University of Chicago. Bruguera's work has been featured in Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany, and in the Havana, Venice, Johannesburg, São Paulo, and Shanghai biennials. In March 2011, she began a five-year social project, Immigrant Movement International, the first year of which was sponsored by Creative Time and the Queens Museum of Art. The Corona, Queens-based project functions as a think tank for immigrant issues, offering free artistic, educational, and consciousness-raising activities to a community of immigrants. Bruguera is a proponent of arte útil, a "useful art" designed to address social and political problems.
