Artist Lecture: Nao Bustamante
Nao Bustamante's precarious work encompasses performance art, video installation, visual art, filmmaking, and writing. The New York Times says, "She has a knack for using her body." Bustamante has presented in galleries, museums, universities and underground sites all around the world. She has exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the New York Museum of Modern Art, Sundance (2008, 2010), and the Kiasma Museum of Helsinki. In 2001 she received the prestigious Anonymous Was a Woman fellowship, New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship (2007), as well as a Lambent Fellow. In 2010 she was an unlikely contestant on TV network, Bravo's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. Bustamante is an alumnus of the San Francisco Art Institute, New Genres program. Currently she holds the position of Associate Professor of New Media and Live Art at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York.
