Mobius Artists Group

International exchange projects with artists from Macedonia, Croatia, Poland, and Taiwan have focused on site-specific works in public places.

[2] Mobius has presented work involving thousands of artists over its 30-year history and is recognized as one of the seminal alternative, artist-run organizations in the U.S.

The MAG has undergone several changes over its 30-year history, but has retained an experimental inter-media emphasis and continues to function as an artist-managed organization.

The company's theater pieces were directed by Marilyn Arsem (a faculty member of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston),[3] and were based on 1970s experimental theatre.

The move was celebrated by a five-hour, multi-location piece (Orpheus), which began in the Kingston Street loft and ended in the former Shlien gallery space.

In addition (due to relationships formed in the Orpheus project), collaborations with experimental artists from other disciplines were featured.

Staff and group members had extensive contact with guest artists, including liaison and the review of proposals.

The ArtRages fundraising parties, which began in the late 1990s and continued through 2007, were the high point of the Mobius programming year.

The parties featured multiple simultaneous performances and installations with music by area bands and musicians, and served as community events.

The ability of artists to communicate to a range of readers through writing varied widely, resulting in an unevenness in the quality of newsletter entries.

In addition to organizational exchanges, individual group members have been invited to present work in over two dozen countries including Taiwan, Argentina, Canada and Germany.

Mobius had benefited from its membership in the Fort Point Artists Community and its relationship with Boston Wharf, receiving 20 years of below-market-rate leases in commercial space.

It continued to work in donated or affordable space in the Boston area and overseas, with individual and group projects presented regionally and internationally.

While there was some benefit in discovering different places for the development of artwork, the hunt for space and negotiation of terms precluded long-term planning efforts.

In 2010, members of the Mobius Artists Group were invited By Grace Exhibition Space of Brooklyn, NY to take part in "INFILTRATE!

In January 2012, the Mobius Artists Group were invited to perform for the opening reception and first two weeks of "100 Years (version #4 Boston, 2012)" organized by MoMA PS1 in collaboration with Performa.
