BIO CV.pdf

Marta Moreno Muñoz (b.1978, Spain) is a performance and video artist with a background in experimental theatre and other time-based arts. Her work has focused predominantly on “feminine” subjectivity, dissolution of the ego and the notion of pre-oedipal nostalgia in response to a patriarchal and undesirable reality. She is at present in a transitional stage, shifting towards the conceptualization of larger-scale projects exploring the complex interchange between performance art and cinematic language.

Currently nomadic, working on personal artistic projects, researching for her PhD Thesis “Art as an Experience of Dissolution of the Self” and co-directing The Unifiedfield with Tara x (One Man Nation) , Marta Moreno has lived, produced and engaged in artistic works in Spain, UK, Turkey, India, The Netherlands, Indonesia and exhibited worldwide.

The Unifiedfield is an independent art space and artist-run organization focusing on the experimental aspects of sound, video and performance art. It previously occupied a traditional complex amongst rice fields in Yogyakarta (Indonesia), subsequently moving into a cave in Granada (Spain) before settling in an antique building nestled in Granada’s historical Moorish quarters, the Albayzín, where it currently runs its Artist-In-Residence (AIR) programme.

Since its inception in 2009, some of the primary goals of The Unifiedfield have been the production and diffusion of new interdisciplinary and non-commercial forms of art, together with the creation of artistic exchanges between Asia and Europe. In this time, it has organized monthly events, video art screenings and experimental music concerts at both its Yogyakarta and Granada spaces; produced site-specific works and held clandestine interventions in public spaces; initiated its own Artist-In-Residence programme; conducted workshops on performance and sound art; presented experimental music from Singapore at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao as part of a fringe festival; produced The Future Sounds of Folk in partnership with Amsterdam-based institution STEIM; curated and exhibited at art institutions such as Nikolaj Kunsthallen (Copenhagen), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Taipei) and the Singapore Art Museum, amongst others.
