Description
Wanda Mihuleac is a Romanian-French artist, curator, and publisher. Mihuleac graduated from the Fine Arts Institute in Bucharest with a degree in graphic design, quickly becoming a leading voice of the 1970s Romanian conceptual art movement.
Having emigrated to France in the 1980s, and with a keen interest in literature and philosophy, she has collaborated with notable figures such as playwright Hélène Cixous and deconstructionist theorist Jacques Derrida. The mixed media works of Mihuleac, intersecting photography, text, object, and performance, speak to transgression and corporeality. The functions of language and of the book as knowledge vessel are recontextualized and reimagined in visceral ways. Her practice places particular emphasis on site specificity, in what a 1980s article in Revista Arta, Romania’s leading art journal, described as “psycho-ecological projects”.
Mihuleac’s works have been shown worldwide in Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, to name a few. In 1972, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale, in a group showcase of graphic art at the Romanian Pavilion.
