still practices "Art/Life/Laugher Counseling" but without the assistance of tarot, palm, or psychic readings which are forbidden by her current practice of Catholicism). The Art/Life Institute Founded by Montano herself, the Art/Life Institute offers residency to aspiring performance artists in Kingston for Performance Artists, where Montano worked on and performed her works. She also wrote The Art/Life Institute Handbook, which included performance exercises that drew from her own work as well as that of others. The handbook was intended to make performance art a tool accessible to anyone. Montano's work has questioned the boundaries between life and art, and the institute and the artist's other Art/Life counseling perpetrated the dissolution of these boundaries by attempting to bring performance to all people and all aspects of life. For those not able to complete a residency at the institute, Montano even has a "Virtual Residency" available online with tasks that similarly designed to make performance more natural and accessible to anyone. Return to Catholicism The influence of her father led Montano to return to Catholicism and ultimately to church attendance. Since 2005 she has gathered and taken prayer requests to more than ten Catholic pilgrimage sites throughout the world. Montano also meets with others in Catholic churches for 3-hour silent retreats, re-seeing the concept of endurance from new Catholic eyes. Since returning, Montano has made numerous videos exploring the faith, including Father Lebar: Catholic Priest and Exorcist; Saint Teresa Of Avila By Linda Mary Montano, and currently Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She also performs three-hour endurances, lip-syncing as Paul McMahon and Bob Dylan. Montano donated her archive to the Fales Library and Special Collections at NYU in 2013. Other In 1975 Montano met Pauline Oliveros, who eventually became her romantic partner. The titles of Oliveros' pieces Rose Moon and Rose Mountain refer to Montano having gone by Rose Mountain at one time.
