Mira M. Yang in conversation with Filipa Ramos

We’re delighted to invite you to a conversation between Mira M. Yang and Filipa Ramos, taking place on Saturday, October 10, at 4pm.

The conversation is conceived in the context of Mira M. Yang’s exhibition Ensemble and draws from Yang and Ramos’s shared interests in aspects of memory, time, history, and the act of looking, as well as from their longstanding engagement with the work of the French filmmaker Chris Marker (1921–2012). The exhibition offers a point of departure to discuss the more-than-human as a generative dimension of Mira M. Yang’s recent work: As the works in Ensemble treat human movement as a score, they blur the distinction between what is human and what is not.

Mira M. Yang is a visual artist based in Paris. Their work has been staged and exhibited at Manifesta16 Ruhr Biennial (2026); Busan Biennale, Busan (2026); Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn (2026); King’s Leap, New York (2026); Musée de l’Art et de l’Histoire, Geneva (2025); The Jewish Museum of Belgium, Brussels (2025); Drei, Cologne (2025); Klosterruine, Berlin (2024); 15th Gwangju Biennial, Gwangju (2024); IMAI Foundation, Düsseldorf (2024); Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf (2024); Fondation Fiminco & Frac Ile de France, Romainville/Paris (2024); CAN Foundation, Seoul (2023); or Galerie Max Mayer, Düsseldorf (2022) among others. A second chapter of Ensemble, currently on view at the Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg, will be presented at the Fondation Pernod Ricard, Paris in November 2026.
