Anamaya Farthing-Kohl (Bolivia, 1988) is an artist who makes work in collaboration with the public, often asking for help in defining, circulating, or discovering her work.  The things that Anamaya makes are projects for participation: they are nuclei for shared thinking. Anamaya attempts to remove herself as the sole author by inviting others to participate, with the hope of making each thing a place of production. This producer-place is a one temporized by actions, a space of exchange and dialog, a place to materialize understanding.  The network of authors are held together by one central nucleus: the thing.  Anamaya is less interested in the thing she created than the network of interconnected parts that circulate the thing.

She received a BFA in sculpture from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, 2011, in 2014 she received a Fulbright to study in SOMA’s educational program. She has shown her work with solo shows at Fylkingen and Moore College of Art (in collaboration with Nathalie Wuerth), Refugio Para Emergencias Visuales, Galería 10,000, Crater Invertido, SOMA, and CASA TENEMOS in Buenos Aires. Anamaya has participated in group shows in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Sweden, Japan, and the United States, some venues include:  the New School, Museo de Arte Carillo Gil, No AUTOMÁTICO, Museo de la Ciudad, Ladrón Galería, Estudio Marte, La Ene, Casa Maauad and EX TERESA Arte Actual.
