Mimi Norrgren Tugged between sculptural object and performative action, Mimi Norrgren’s work often takes the form of live performance. She is obsessively involved in sculpture because it allows her to understand the world through touching it. Norrgren’s work is guided by images of unique landscapes and tradition, some of which are routed in her Czech and Swedish ancestry. After her BA in Fine Art at Oxford, Norrgren went on to complete an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London. In 2010 she was shortlisted for the Saatchi New Sensations Art Prize. Included in ’100 curators 100 days, Saatchi Online, 08/2012′ online collection. She won The Red Mansion Art Prize in 2009. Norrgren has exhibited and sold work internationally.The artist currently lives and works in London. miminorrgren.com Head, 2013. Wood sculpture, 19.7 in by 11.8 in by 5.5 in.
Andrea Nacciarriti Consciousness and acceptance are the terms for a space where there are certain visions of a ‘mistaken’ poetic, of the collective and individual failure, silent stratification of an aesthetic, the devastation of information and a consequent ethic responsibility. The work is not perceived in a destructive tone, but a cynical action of reconstructing the submerged and materializing a malformation of the assimilated reality. The human mistake is seen as a vital part and the base of the analytic process given by actors and viewers as unreliable beings. andreanacciarriti.net
