Maria José Arjona Art

b. 1973

Maria José Arjona was born in Bogota, Colombia, in 1973. Currently living and working between New York and Bogota, Arjona has developed a career fully focused on performance with an emphasis on long durational practices to address process, memory and power. From 2008–10, Arjona started to introduce the idea of a cycle as an archive of gestures, where to process different states of the body within political and social structures of power. Arjona’s work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout Europe, South America, Asia and the US. Her pieces have been reviewed in publications such as Art In America, The New York Times, The Guardian (UK), Whitewall Magazine, Art Nexus International, Arte Al Dia, The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, Mag Magazine, Wynwood Magazine, El Tiempo, El Espectador, Corriere Della Sera, Revista Arcadia, Revista Diners and many others. Arjona participated as a re-performer of the iconic pieces of Marina Abramovic at her retrospective “THE ARTIST IS PRESENT” in MOMA, New York, in 2010 and was also involved in the workshop “Cleaning The House” given by Abramovic herself.
