Miranda July is a prolific performance and video artist. She stepped into the mainstream limelight when her 2005 film Me and You and Everyone We Know became an international hit. But instead of rushing into another feature film project, Miranda has been "in a hurry to do everything else". Like making exhibitions featuring the delicate and personal do-it-yourself art from the ever-expanding Learning To Love You More web project. We met Miranda at MU, an art space in Eindhoven, a few hours before the opening of the exhibition. Miranda July is the first in a new series of Pretty Cool People Interviews. Coming up next: Mike Mills, Lou Ye, Erwin Wurm, Olivier Marquézy and Lou Reed, to name but a few...

I love this. I love Miranda July's movie, her book and these assignments are delightful. But why does the description say she "was" a performance artist. . . she's still well, right? still with us? Yes!

[SubmarineChannel]

You are so right. Changed the description... thanks for pointing that our.

I love Miranda July's work. It's an invitation to see 'art' in everything, or if people object to the use of the word 'art' in this manner, to notice our connections with the worlds around us - connectionss that aren't necessarily noticed and likely aren't appreciated as being meaningful. Her work invites us to consider the value in our own stories instead of believing that art is something that 'others' do, something to which we are only an audience instead of a participant.

Her movie changed my world. Judging by all the awards and reviews it got, a lot of other people felt the earth move too. If you can't see it and feel it, well I guess it doesn't exist for you and you will just have to move on to something that you can see and feel. In my opinion, she is the most important artist in of our time, because her whole passion is directed to enspiring and enlivening ALL OF US.

Go Miranda!
