BIOGRAPHY

The work is usually visual, sometimes including text, and is sometimes hourly location sound recordings, then made in collaboration with Ernst Karel. Mirra has made solo exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art, Kunst-Werke Berlin, and Haus Konstruktiv Zürich, and participated in the 50th Venice Biennial and the 30th Sao Paulo Bienal. Public projects include Farbenweg, indirekter, architecturally embedded among the houses of the Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz, Austria, Instance the Determination at the University of Chicago, and a GSA Art-in-Architecture project at the Minnesota–Canada border. She shows with Peter Freeman in New York, Nordenhake in Stockholm, Meyer Riegger in Karlsruhe and Berlin, Taka Ishii in Tokyo, and Raffaella Cortese in Milan. A fifteen year survey (1996-2010) of her work was presented at Culturgest, in Lisbon Portugal, in 2014. Recent publications are the book gehend (Argobooks, 2013), the three-ring binder Edge Habitat Materials (Whitewalls, 2014), the CD Maps of Parallels 41˚and 49˚ with Ernst Karel (Shhpuma, 2014), and the LP Kwangsi-Quail with Fred Frith (Shhpuma, 2015).
