"Leaving traces is inevitable as human beings, and I strongly believe
that our stories, our heritage and our individual experiences have an enormous impact on our shared experiences.
As a performing artist I am part of this important aspect as a bridge, a transmission through the practice of ephemeral art, and believe that the artist plays a valuable asset to the development of our society."
MSH
Maria Stamenković Herranz is a Spanish-Serbian performance interdisciplinary artist. She graduated from the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London and Maggie Flanigan Acting Studio in New York.
Over the course of thirty years, her body has been her prima materia. Her work uncovers the power of the resilient body and underscores the present body inhabiting time and space with and in relation to the viewer. It incorporates various mediums - performance, theatre, visual arts - to explore her fascination in breaking pre-established notions of cultural narratives and myths.
Since 1998 MSH has presented her work internationally in a diverse range of contexts and forms: Fragile Panic (Martch Art Gallery, Istanbul, 2022), This Mortal House Building 2 (Carré Theater, Amsterdam, 2022), Metamorphosis of Landscapes (Art Biennale of Bangkok, 2021), This Mortal House Building 1 (Sakip Sabanci Museum, Istanbul, 2020), Medea: Impulse & Ear (Benaki Museum, Athens, 2016).
She has collaborated extensively with other artists in film, photography, media, choreography, theatre and performance in acclaimed venues such, amongst others, Jan Fabre (Je suis sang & History of Tears, Cour d'Honneur Palais des Papes, Avignon, 2005-2007), Marina Abramovic (The Artist is Present, MoMa, New York, 2010) and Deborah Kampmeier (Split, Sarasota Film Festival, 2016).
