Raffaella Cortese is proud to present, in her spaces at Via Stradella 1 and 7, a solo show by the American artist Helen Mirra.

Mirra’s pensive installations are formally minimal and made with humble materials such as wool blankets, raw linen or hand-dyed cotton banding. For the artist walking is an integral component of all her works. Since 2010, she has been organizing these walks with great attention and precision, as sort of open-ended expeditions in different places in the world. The results take various forms – sometimes printmaking, sometimes writing, sometimes sound recordings. Artists such as Anni Albers, André Cadere, John Cage, Douglas Huebler and Ree Morton share her orbit. Mirra’s habitat is an edge where logic and geology meet, according to the weather.
