It is with an amazing pride and pleasure to announce that Ron Athey will be a regular visiting artist at the MFA:CLA. Ron Athey has been a legendary figure in live art and his contribution to the work of the visceral body is more than seminal. Ron Athey will be leading a two days workshop on visceral somatic investigations during our first week of residency. Athey’s work explores challenging subjects like the relationships between desire, sexuality, and traumatic experience. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history and life of Live Art, and it is a great privilege that we will have the time to be with him in the studio and work with him.
