Helen Mirra is an American conceptual artist.
She was born in Rochester, New York in 1970, graduated from Bennington College in 1991, and received her MFA in studio art from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996. Since 2007 her practice has been centered in walking. Her first solo gallery exhibition was in Chicago in 1999 and included a 16mm silent film, textile works, and the vinyl record Along, Below, all relating to geography, and her first one-person institutional exhibition was at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago in 2001. The open-ended and ecologically-minded brevity demonstrated then has been a continuous aspect of her idiosyncratic practice since then.
She has exhibited extensively in galleries and museums in galleries and museums in the United States, Europe, and Japan, as well as 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. [1]
Mirra has been artist-in-residence at University of California at Berkeley,[2] with the DAAD in Berlin,[3] and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.[4] She taught for most of her early career, including as Senior Lecturer in Visual Art and Cinema & Media Studies at the University of Chicago[5] and as Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University.[6]
