Hiroko Kikuchi
Co-Founder
Hiroko is an artist, and through her solo work, she continues the development of Fluxus-inspired Instruction work and Performance Art and deals with themes of cultural identity. Her recent solo performances are included in festivals and shows such as Deformes: 1st Bienal Internacional de Peformance (Santiago, Chile), Contaminate (Boston, USA), Corporal Heat: International Performance Festival (Boston, USA), Castle of Imagination (Poland), Tremor (Bogota, Colombia) and others. Hiroko holds an MFA degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Tufts University, in affiliation with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, with a special focus on Performance Art, History, and Theory, and Installation work. She currently works at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and manages the youth apprenticeship program Teen Arts Council.
Hiroko in collaboration with Jeremy has conceived and produced, curated, or created community-based performance, new media, and installation art projects. They have developed a collaborative practice over the past few years that we call Social Performance Art, the adaptation of existing social systems as artist that creates new ideas, meanings, relationships, and interdependencies. Their projects include CHINATOWN™ (Asian Art Initiative, Philadelphia, PA, 2007-2009) Skinshipu (The Artist Foundation, Boston, USA, 2005-present), Sifting the Inner Belt (Boston Center for the Arts, Boston, USA, 2005), Gifu Machi-JIN-zukuri (Gifu, Japan, 2002); Treasure Hill Garden Portrait Studio Project (Taipei, Taiwan, 2003-2004); and others.
