Below are several links to articles and work samples to help you get acquainted with Mimi's work. Subsequent posts on this blog will provide a sample of images and video not yet available on the internet. (We are currently developing an official website for Mimi Gross.)
The exhibition catalogue of Mimi's 2002 portrait series, The Charm of Many, is a great place to begin learning about her diverse career as an artist and designer. Poet Charles Bernstein thoroughly describes her creative process and philosophies behind art-making. The catalogue concludes with an illustrated exhibition resume, filmography, and bibliography which covers over five decades. (PDF)

Sketchbook Sample. All of Mimi's work is rooted in disciplined sketching and drawing. She's filled a library of sketchbooks and never leaves the house without one. This example comes from an exhibition/event called Poetry Plastique curated by Jay Sanders and Charles Bernstein in 2001 at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, NYC.
On collaborations with dancer Douglass Dunn. In this online essay, Mimi discusses why she collaborates with other artists. The article includes images of many dances that she and Douglas Dunn have developed since the late 70's.
