“... Discovered the artist in an alley in Monopoli and now I’m one of her first customers! Amazing quality and packaging!
”
“... this paper examines the conceptual underpinning, practical engagement and exciting outcomes of a recent collaboration between the UK Space Agency and the artist Aleksandra Mir.
”
“... halos become planets and satellites become implements of martyrdom. But rather than mocking or privileging one system of thought over the other, the collages merely posit different methods of ascension, one physical, one metaphysical.
”
“... Her fiction in these series is to mix the promises made to believers about life in the hereafter with all kinds of artifacts from Earth created by humans in the here and now ... images of space travel as if it were a search for cosmological proof of God’s existence.
”
“... the artist uses delicate Madonnas and space shuttles, angelic flights and lunar landscapes, myths of modernity and millennial representations of faith, confirming the eclectic and paradoxical vocation that has characterized her work since the beginning.
”
“... The collages featuring images of deep space exploration were inspired by the artist’s friendship with Palermo gallery owner Francesco Pantaleone and the shop selling religious furnishings that has belonged to his family for generations.
”
“... The collages were not created with Photoshop, but rather using the old cut-and-paste technique that the Dadaists were so fond of. The works were covered with gold leaf, referring to icons.
”
“... Maybe it is [Aleksandra Mir]’s stateless glance (born in Poland, with Swedish and American citizenship and having lived between New York, London and Palermo) that allows her this creative strabismus, capable of wandering and unifying far images.
