Aya Dorit Cypis (born 1951) is an Israeli American artist and mediator who resides and works in Los Angeles, California.〔Kolbiaka, Michal. "Aya Dorit Cypis". In 〕 She is known for her 1980's, 90's feminist installations, performance pieces, and photography 〔 that focussed on the body—in particular, the female body. More recent work explores psycho-political identity, difference, and social relations. ==Life== Cypis was born in Tel Aviv in 1951 and grew up in Israel.〔 She studied sociology at Sir George Williams University in Montreal from 1968 to 1970 before attending Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 1971 to 1974, receiving a BA in art education and BFA in fine art from the latter institution in 1974. She then attended the California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts) from 1975 to 1977, receiving an MFA in 1977.〔〔 After graduating from Cal Arts, she served as a director of Foundation for Art Resources in Los Angeles.〔 Cypis moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1983 because she "wasn't interested in and () disoriented by the hype-consumerism () experienced" in Los Angeles.〔 Her experience in Minnesota during this time shaped her perspective as an artist.〔 She was more influenced by cinema, music, and dance—particularly a group of dancers called the Body Arts Network—than the visual arts, and "()erformativity became a central element in () work".〔 Cypis uses photography, performance, and social sculpture to address history, knowledge and personal experience in relation to psychology, body and society. Cypis lived in Minneapolis through the 1990s, though she was an artist in residence at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gardnermuseum.org/contemporary_art/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/the_body_in_the_picture?filter=exhibitions:4265 )〕 She used projections and performance "in an attempt to reinsert the figure in the picture".〔 One of her major works, ''X-Rayed (altered)'' (1988), was commissioned by the Whitney Museum.〔 In the installation, large photographs of a nude woman were projected.〔〔 After seeing the installation, and despite her prior consent, the woman depicted insisted that Cypis destroy it.〔〔 Rather than destroying the installation entirely, Cypis recreated it using photos of her own body.〔〔 She received a Master of Arts degree in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University in 2005 and she works as a mediator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorit Cypis )〕 In 2014, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gf.org/fellows/17564-dorit-cypis )〕 She has also received awards and fellowships from several other organizations, including the National Education Association, Japan Foundation, Durfee Foundation, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Arts Department, and Fellows of Contemporary Art. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.otis.edu/faculty/dorit-cypis )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorit Cypis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
