Eames Armstrong is an interdisciplinary artist and curator, and the founder and director of Aether Art Projects, an organization which emphasizes experimentation, performance, and collaboration through exhibitions and events. Eames received a B.F.A. from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2010 with emphasis on painting, writing, and performance. Eames is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in studio art at George Washington University in Washington, DC.

I bring principles of flexibility and collaboration from my own visual and performance art work to my curating. I believe in an integrated studio, writing, and curatorial practice. One of the many roles of the curator is to facilitate exchange among artists, I try to do this through organizing events independently as Aether Art Projects and in conjunction with galleries and organizations and through maintaining an online art journal, PERI0D. I know how Hans Ulrich Obrist felt when he said, “I feel an urgent need to produce communities.”

Through art, and for me especially through performance, we can learn much about each other. We can learn about how another person thinks and experiences the world, and new ways to see and interact with other people through their expression of ideas. In organizing and facilitating a lot of art over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to be closely engaged with so many various creative processes. Each of these experiences makes up the basis of my curatorial approach. www.eamesarmstrong.com
