Linda Mary Montano is a seminal figure in contemporary feminist performance art and her work since the mid 1960s has been critical in the development of video by, for, and about women. Attempting to dissolve the boundaries between art and life, Montano continues to actively explore her art/life through shared experience, role adoption, and intricate life altering ceremonies, some of which last for seven or more years. Her artwork is starkly autobiographical and often concerned with personal and spiritual transformation. Montano’s influence is wide ranging – she has been featured at museums including The New Museum in New York, MOCA San Francisco and the ICA in London. FULL BIO
Linda Montano is one of my absolute favourite artists. I was first drawn to her performance work which blurred gender boundaries. I am now more interested in the work which blurrs art and life and works with time and durational works that can span years. She lives and makes art with such strong intention and commitment. She also offers this challenge to others (life artists) to do the same. Here is a link to ANOTHER 21 YEARS OF LIVING ART 1998-2019.
