Mira Schor: Moon Room

An artist, writer, publisher, educator, and art critic, Mira Schor’s multiple engagements have secured her a singular place in the contemporary art scene. She is known mainly for her painting, a medium that she explores and advocates for in particular, and for her contributions to the history of feminist art. All the works featured in Mira Schor’s exhibition “Moon Room” come from the Pinault Collection. Her work expresses her political and theoretical concerns as much as it testifies to her passion for formalism, material, and language. For Schor, language is not a way to illustrate political battles, instead an example of what a female artist’s gaze can produce. Through the personal, intimate narratives that she instills in her works, Schor explores thought, memory, perception, and affects, with an abiding, deep interest “in the return of visual pleasure as a feminist intervention in painting”
