Biography: 
1967 Born in Lubin, DS (PL)
Selected solo shows and projects include:
The World from Above, Greengrassi, London (2004); Naming Tokyo (part III), ICA, Philadelphia (2004); Happy Holidays, The Wrong Gallery, New York (2003); Naming Tokyo (part II), Swiss Institute, New York (2003); Plane Landing, Compton Verney House Trust, Warwickshire (2003); Welcome back to Earth, Kunsthalle St. Gallen, St Gallen (2003); HELLO Ringier, Ringier annual report, Zurich (2003); Daily News, Gavin Brown's enterprise, New York / Greengrassi, London (2002); HELLO Bern, Galeria Francesca Pia, Bern (2002) and First Woman on the Moon, Casco Projects, Utrecht (1999).
Her 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.
