Read MoreLike the weather in early March, in New York, Armory Week is at once thrilling, blustery, exhausting, and it just might make you go numb. There is so much happening, that it’s easy to feel that there’s no way to get a handle on it. By our estimates there are over 650,000 square feet of art fairs alone—that’s like six and a half Manhattan city blocks worth of art—and that doesn’t count the museums, gallery openings or art auctions that you’ve got to make it to. To help you prioritize your to-do list, we have run down some of the essentials of the New York art scene’s spring awakening.

Born in 1977 in London, United Kingdom, Haroon Mirza lives and works in London and Sheffield. Using video, sound and found objects, Mirza creates complex audio-visual installations assembled out of old furniture, electronic equipment and various light sources, ranging from led signboards to Christmas garlands. His work couples and uncouples visual and acoustic material, establishing a series of aesthetic correspondences between different cultural and ideological sources mediated through technological means. Much of Mirza’s practice is engaged in structuring noise into patterns in order to transform the reception of sound from an experience characterized by hearing to one defined by listening. His work Adhãn (2009) translates the opening bars of a Cat Stevens song into a relay that animates different parts of a modular installation: a flickering desk lamp, a glass cube collecting condensation, an old radio tuning in and out and a video loop of a cello extract.
Haroon Mirza has recently presented solo exhibitions at Zurich Art Prize, Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich (2014), The Light Hours, Villa Savoye, Poissy (2014), Mother's Tankstation, Dublin (2010) and A-Foundation, Liverpool (2009). His work has has been shown in numerous exhibitions including Art Sheffield 10, Sheffield (2010), “For the Birds” at SMART Project Space, Amsterdam (2010), “The Sheffield Pavilion” at the 11th Istanbul Biennale, Istanbul (2009), “Lisson Presents (3)” at Lisson Gallery, London (2009), “Stage Fright” (with Laura Buckly & Dave Maclean) at Rokeby, London (2009), “Contested Ground” at 176, London (2009), “New Contemporaries”, the Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool, touring to London (2008), “Cabaret Futura” at Cell Project Space, London (2008), “How We May Be”, Late at Tate at Tate Britain, London (2007) and “REGELEI” at Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna (2006). He was short-listed for the Mercury Music & Art Prize (2005) and for the Northern Art Prize (2010).
Haroon Mirza is represented by Lisson Gallery, London.
