Miriam Simun

Miriam Simun works at the intersection of ecology, technology and the body, spanning multiple formats including video, performance, installation, drawing, writing, and communal sensorial experiences. Of chief concern is the collision of bodies (human and non) with rapidly evolving techno-ecosystems. If collision can be understood to be a form of disturbance (in the ecological sense), then in disturbance we move through damage to an opportunity for renewal. Their work explores the role of the sensorium in this renewal. Simun’s work has been presented internationally, including Gropius Bau (Berlin), New Museum (New York), Momenta Biennale (Montreal), Himalayas Museum (Shanghai), MIT List Center for Visual Art (Cambridge) and the Bogota Museum of Modern Art (Bogota) ,and has been supported by Creative Capital and the Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Mitchell, Gulbenkian and Onassis Foundations.
