Aleksandra Mir's works often take the form of social processes that are open for anyone
who wishes giving the work meaning. The work of art is an exercise that operates in
everyday life; a humanistic and playful organism with a large social appetite. The work's
course of events is often started by Mir as a situation-bound joint between specific events,
and the work's location. From this starting point the discussion is extended to more
general conditions like traditions, norms and categorization. 'Pick Up (Oh Baby)' was a
public collection and broadcast of sexy male whistles at Town hall Square in Copenhagen. |
The sound encroached on the people passing by. The lightly dressed girls looked over their
shoulders in vain trying to catch a glimpse of the man who whistled.'Cinema for the
Unemployed — Hollywood Disaster Movies' (1970-1997) is produced by Mir in cooperation
with Moss employment service. From May 25th - 29th at 9am - 5pm (on weekdays, during
work hours!), disaster movies will be shown in a shut down cinema, in the center of Moss. In
this way, Mir connects ideas about leisure culture and labor life in a situation, which is both
metaphor and productive circumstance. Lars Bang Larsen, MOMENTUM catalogue, 1998. |
