Myriam Mihindou, Praesentia

Myriam Mihindou is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing, writing, photography, video and performance. Her work addresses issues of identity, memory, language, ritual, the living, the female condition, spirituality and ecology. Her practice could be described as curative as much as artistic.

The exhibition Praesentia (a polysemous title evoking presence, power and protection) offers a generous unfolding of Myriam Mihindou's work over the last twenty years, including new productions. The exhibition is particularly interested in the way in which the artist assumes the spiritual and therapeutic, as well as the social and political functions of art, through gestures, forms and materials.
