Helen Mirra Biography

Helen Mirra is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on December 31, 1970 in Rochester, New York, United States. She has an extensive exhibition history in North and South America, Europe, and Japan, and participated in broad international exhibitions such as the 11th Havana Bienal, the 30th São Paulo Art Biennial and the 50th Venice Biennial. A fifteen-year (1995-2009) survey of her work, Edge Habitat, was presented in 2014 at Culturgest in Lisbon, Portugal, and the corresponding publication Edge Habitat Materials was published by WhiteWalls.

Helen Mirra is an American conceptual artist. “[Like Henry David Thoreau, she is a] maximalist in a minimalist robe”, with an idiosyncratic practice. She is engaged with ideas common to buddhist and pragmatist philosophies, and since 2008 her art practice has been integrated with walking. She has said of walking: “It is an unskilled activity, and a modest activity, and a free activity, and an always-available activity, and an equipment-free activity, and an active activity.” In an essay on Mirra’s work, Yukio Lippit described her engagement thus: “Mirra’s practice champions walking as a specific form of thinking that bypasses language. Indeed, one senses that she shares with Zen Buddhists in particular a deep skepticism towards language as an authentic mechanism of discovery.” At the same time, she has often worked with language as a primary material.
