Nao Bustamante (b. September 3, 1969) is a performance artist and Associate Professor of New Media and Live Art at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her work encompasses performance art, sculpture, installation, and video art. Her work is exhibited and performed internationally, and frequently invoked in scholarship on contemporary Latina/o performance. Her practice is deeply engaged with projection and the mediated image: she is exploring a hybrid genre she calls "filmformance," in which the artist performs alongside and in relation to projection (e.g. Lifestyle and Silver and Gold).
She appeared in the first season Bravo Network show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. She was eliminated in the fourth episode. The artist has claimed her appearance on this program as itself a form of social sculpture.[1] This reality television show appearance was anticipated by her 1992 performance "Rosa Does Joan," in which Bustamante was featured on an episode of The Joan Rivers Show. She had adopted the persona of a "stunt exhibitionist," and was interviewed in a show devoted to voyeurs and exhibitionists. [2]
