Helen Mirra is an American conceptual artist.
Mirra was born in Rochester, New York in 1970. She graduated from Bennington College in 1991, majoring in studio art and contemporary art history. She earned her MFA in studio art from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996.
Mirra participated in the 30th Sao Paulo Bienal and the 50th Venice Biennial. She has had exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Museum, Haus Konstruktiv Zurich, the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, and Kunst-Werke Berlin.
Mirra's 1999 exhibition Map, Film, Record, Picture, Sculpture, included a 16mm silent film, fabric maps of sections of the 52nd parallel, and the vinyl record Along, Below.[1] A 15-year survey of her work was presented in 2014 at Culturgest in Lisbon, Portugal.
