The Unifiedfield / el campo unificado is an independent art space and nomadic artist-run organization focusing on the experimental aspects of sound, video and performance art. We observe the world as a network of interdependent connections and we understand artistic practice as a vehicle that can transform life, our relation with ourselves, society, and the natural world.

The Unifiedfield previously occupied a traditional complex amongst rice fields in Yogyakarta (Indonesia), subsequently moving into a cave in Granada (Spain) before settling in an antique building nestled in Granada’s historic Moorish quarters, the Albayzín, where it ran an artist residency for three years. From 2013 until 2017 The Unifiedfield ran its Nomadic Artist-in-Residence Program in The Philippines in collaboration with Balud Art Network. Access to The Unifiedfield Nomadic Artist-in-Residence Program in The Philippines was open to all artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers and curators without restriction, but priority was given to artists working on environmental and relational, site-specific projects on the experimental and interdisciplinary fringes.

Since its inception in 2009, some of the primary interests of The Unifiedfield have been the production and diffusion of new interdisciplinary and non-commercial forms of art, together with the creation of artistic exchanges between Asia and Europe. In this time, it has organized monthly events, video art screenings and experimental music concerts at both its Yogyakarta and Granada spaces; initiated three Artist-In-Residence programmes; produced site-specific works and held clandestine interventions in public places; conducted workshops on performance and sound art; curated and exhibited at art institutions such as Nikolaj Kunsthallen (Copenhagen), the Museum Of Contemporary Art (Taipei), The Substation (Singapore), and the Singapore Art Museum; presented experimental music from Singapore at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao as part of a fringe festival; and produced The Future Sounds Of Folk, a project that attempts to use diverse musical traditions of Indonesia as a starting point for the development of new amalgams of experimental music, in partnership with Amsterdam-based institution STEIM.

In 2017, The Unifiedfield / el campo unificado launched its third residency program in Castellar de la Frontera, Cádiz (Spain). From the 16th October until the 18th November, four international artists coincided in a beautiful Andalusian home at a medieval fortress in the heart of Los Alcornocales Natural Park. For this program, artists were invited to work out of their comfort zone to experiment with collaborative processes and ephemeral interventions in the village and the natural surroundings. In this new stage we hope to establish alliances and partnerships with like-minded people and organizations working towards the experimentation in the arts and the cultural and eco-social transformation.

The Unifiedfield / el campo unificado, founded by Marta Moreno Muñoz and Tara Transitory.

Marta Moreno Muñoz (Spain, 1978) is a performance and video artist with a background in experimental theatre and other time-based arts. Graduating in 2002 with a M.A in Fine Arts, her work has focused predominantly on “feminine” subjectivity, dissolution of the ego and the notion of pre-oedipal nostalgia in response to a patriarchal and undesirable reality. She is at present in a transitional stage, shifting towards the conceptualization of larger-scale projects exploring the complex interchange between performance art and the cinematic language.

Currently nomadic, she is working on personal art projects, researching for her PhD thesis “Art as an Experience of Dissolution of the Self” and directing The Unifiedfield; Marta Moreno has lived, produced and engaged in artistic works in Spain, UK, Turkey, India, The Netherlands, Indonesia, Singapore, The Philippines and exhibited internationally.

Tara Transitory aka One Man Nation is an experimental musician originally from Singapore with a background in media and sound art. In 2009 she co-founded The Unifiedfield together with Marta Moreno Muñoz, which they co-directed until 2013.

Tara Transitory makes work which some consider art, some consider music and some consider trash. Clearly, it never quite fits into demarcated categories. She is trans, nomadic and is exploring the intersections of gender, noise and ritual through sound, performance and the collective trance. She fluctuates between Berlin (Germany) and Chiang Mai (Thailand) where she directs the performance space e x t a n t a t i o n. Currently, she is working together with Nguyễn Baly as Nguyễn+Transitory on trying to approach sound, synthesis, noise, rhythm, and performance from postcolonial, intersectional feminist angle as well as trying to empirically learn more of the various Southeast Asian+diaspora queer existences and lost narratives. Concurrently, she is working on the International //gender|o|noise\\ Underground, a collection of video documents made of ephemeral public interventions done in collaboration with other Asian trans* women such as Jenny Quỳnh Phương, Nguyễn Thiện Phúc and Kandy Zyanide (สุกุล ดงน้อย).

Tara performs solo as One Man Nation, with Nguyễn Baly as Nguyễn+Transitory, with Truna as { 23 Shadows of Amnesia } and with Pierre Bastien as Mecanation. An extensive collaborator, her past collaborators include Kakushin Nishihara, Chaiwat Prumprajum, Tzu Ni, Shian Law, Thanisa Fah, Bambu Wukir and Iman Jimbot (The Future Sounds Of Folk). Tara has performed internationally at CTM (Berlin), donaufestival (Krems), Gaite Lyrique (Paris), Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao), Tokyo Performing Arts Meeting (Yokohama), Museum of Contemporary Art (Taipei) and Wiener festwochen (Vienna) among many others.
