Mabou Mines today has announced a group of multidisciplinary artists whose work affirms the company's 51-year history of collaboration and experimentation. Co-Artistic Directors Karen Kandel, Sharon Ann Fogarty, Mallory Catlett, and Carl Hancock Rux welcome new Associate Artists and members in a new category: Senior Artistic Associates. Together, they exemplify Mabou Mines' intergenerational model.
These new appointments fortify, for the future, the cornerstones of Mabou Mines' half-century of history: a wide network of artists and a commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration. The new Associate Artists are media designer and performer Tei Blow; interdisciplinary artist Perel; performing artist David Thomson; and MacArthur Fellowship-winning multidisciplinary artist Carrie Mae Weems. Each brings to the company a unique perspective, aesthetic and range of disciplinary expertise. As Associate Artists, they will have three-year residencies at Mabou Mines' theater and studio at the 122CC building in the East Village, supporting their ongoing projects while they provide lasting contributions to the company's creative vision.
