BilbaoArte has published a monograph on the artist to mark the exhibition. Designed by Elena Sanz and combining photos of the site specific installation at the venue with pages showing materials and manuscript notes, it covers the whole process between the residency at BilbaoArte and the exhibition at URIBITARTE40.
Emma Brasó, art historian and a curator with whom Miren has previously worked, has written the text.
This book will be available free of charge from 21 May. At 7.00 p.m., the artist and Emma Brasó will discuss the publishing and editorial process.
Some Possibilities (Using Rubbish and Simulation) starts from the works produced during her residency at BilbaoArte from 2024 to 2025; they emerged from her personal concerns as a precarious artist as regards what is happening in the world from an environmental, social and political perspective. Thus, availing herself of items she has found (Objet trouvé) and retrieved from the street, she explores housing speculation, reforms, evictions and waste generation, along with simulation and our impact on the environment.
