Baker Artist Portfolios

 
MJ Neuberger’s image-based and sculptural works, site-based and performative installations and public engagement projects draw on her ritual attempts to return to a body abandoned in intergenerational trauma she traces to colonial history in her mother’s native Philippines.
 
Founder of the Great Wide Open and co-founder of the Meeting Ground series of collaborative projects and interdisciplinary dialogues, Neuberger engages diverse communities in collective sensory and haptic experience through art installations, collective performance, calls for simultaneous shared gesture and cross-cultural discussion, inviting viewer/participants to arrive in physical presence and consider vulnerability shared with perceived internal and external human and nonhuman others.
 
Neuberger, who is artist in residence at Creative Alliance in Baltimore and co-recipient of a 2020-2021 wherewithal grant from the Washington Project for the Arts, has presented work at international symposia, at Swale House, Art Resources Transfer, Gathering of the Tribes and the Nuyorican Poets Café in New York and at exhibitions in Maryland, North Carolina and Indiana.
