Contemporary Art Galleries

The Dallas Museum of Art continues its Concentrations series, a project-based program focusing on international emerging talent, with Concentrations 45: Helen Mirra, “Sudden and creeping violence,” which features sculptures and a sound-video installation by the Chicago-based artist.

Mirra’s work, which is best known for exploring the relationship between the natural world and the people who inhabit it, brings the viewer to a conciliatory realization in Concentrations 45: Helen Mirra, “Sudden and creeping violence.” The exhibition features a sound-video installation entitled Arrow (2002) and sculptures on the floor and wall made out of reclaimed shipping pallets.
