Emily Mast makes performances and ephemeral installations that incorporate bodies, movement, sound and idiosyncratic experience to exhibit uncertainty as live sculptural material. She presented a live looping play called “Everything, Nothing, Something, Always (Walla!)” for Performa 09 in New York. In 2010 she was part of a symposium at the Museum of Modern Art in New York examining the role of the audience in contemporary performance art. Her work has been seen at Mains d’Oeuvres in Paris, MUHKA in Antwerp, Samson Projects in Boston, and LACMA, REDCAT, the Velaslavasay Panorama Theater, Human Resources, Steve Turner Contemporary, Blackbox and 533 in Los Angeles. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Yaddo, Skowhegan, unitednationsplaza and the Vermont Studio Center. She received her MFA from USC in 2009.
