-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Fashion Time!” took place in an educational context as a part of the 'Work.Master' MFA programme at HEAD–Genève: The above text was a prompt, written in September 2021 as an invitation to the students of to work together with me on a research project that took as starting point the potential that lies in the spectacle and materiality of the fashion event for art making and display. ----------------------- The outcome of this project was a one-day event and an exhibition at the project space Mala in Lisbon in May 2022. This text became the manifesto for the project.

Conceived and designed by Marlie Mul and Harry Burke on behalf of ground, a counter-institutional fanzine, November 2018. Contents for the poster came out of group conversations held with with students from the bachelor in fine arts programme at École supérieure d'art de Lorraine (ESAL - Metz), and it was made for the exhibition "Fabriques de contre-savoirs" at 49 Nord 6 Est –FRAC Lorraine, Metz, France, 11.09.2018–10.02.2019.
Excerpt from the book:
the B-interviews : arbre de vie
First of all we set out to regularly meet up in Berlin during a specific period of time in 2016 for Marlie to in an informal way do interviews with Jean-Michel that were to become a part of this book. This would only happen in the afternoon and in pleasant and varied locations. The B-interviews – the B as a play on the B for Berlin, also as a reference to a series of interviews done by Calvin Tomkins with Marcel Duchamp in 1964, called ‘The Afternoon Interviews’.
Because both of us were always travelling throughout this period, these meet-ups were sporadic, and so each time we met time had passed by and there would always be new experiences, ideas and influences to discuss.
We realised our incapacity to affirm anything, instead preferring a sort of meandering through information. We decided then to opt for the form of an arbre de vie* as metaphor of this loose process. Like this we could appreciate all single topics and let them remain in their apparent disconnectedness.

Commissioned by Kunsthalle Wien in context of the exhibition "No One and One Hundred Thousand", curated by Luca Lo Pinto at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna 2016.
The request from the curator was to create new works for an exhibition where the viewer/visitor would 'make' the exhibition by moving the artworks around the space to form new exhibition configurations. I designed these hammers - tools - in such a way as to complicate this. The other artists in the exhibition were Darren Bader, Jason Dodge, Phanos Kyriacou, Adriana Lara, Jonathan Monk, Amalia Pica, Martin Soto Climent, Lina Viste Grønli.
Flexible silicone hammers, 120 cm, unique pieces, handle colour comes in either green or red. Pictured here in red.
Also exhibited as a part of Back Matter, MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, 2021.
Performance. Entropic autobiographical artist's talk. Vienna, April 2016. Part of the lecture series "Histories/Geschichten", curated by Luca Lo Pinto at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna.
For this series of talks I was asked to speak about myself as an artist, and about my artistic practise in the broader narrative of art history through autobiography and artistic influences. I did not feel comfortable with this scenario, additionally also being the only female artist invited in the series. I decided to connect my laptop to the projector and allow audience, and also friends and collaborators at a distance, to interact directly with me via various programmes, Whatsapp messages, Growl notifications, iMessage, email notifications on screen, and also phone calls. What started off as a 'regular' artist talk soon became an unmanageable situation of pop-up screens, distractions and attempts at managing and multitasking around chaos of messages and incoming calls. Coincidentally, during the performance the wifi of the institution shut down and was replaced by a screen displaying the news that Prince had died, adding to a situation that was very much out of my hands, and which meant I had to further improvise.
thank u to the participants:
Dim Mul (phone call), Michele di Menna (Whatsapp messages), Philipp Timischl (Whatsapp messages) Mårten Spångberg (sms), Hamishi Farah (sms), Parastu (live selfie-taking in the front row), Zacharias Wackwitz (phone call), and Luca Lo Pinto (organiser).

In this cooperative situation that took place at Yappy's Copy Shop in Vienna throughout April and May of 2016 there was no appointed author, nor a specific concept or framework set for the content of the zine.

YAPPY'S COPY SHOP is a temporary copy shop. It was located in the Belvedere Museum/21er Haus Museum Artist Studio in Augarten Park in Vienna from March-May 2016 where I was an artist in residence for 6 months. During this time it was open to the public most days from 11am –11pm for regular photocopy services and was a space to work on print, collages and zines with various artists that were based in Vienna at this time.
Thank you to Xerox Austria for sponsoring this project with the borrowing of a copy machine.
for Silly Canvas / Centre For Style, 2015
"Silly Canvas"
Centre for Style exhibition at Utopian Slumps, Melbourne.
From the brief by Centre for Style: "Silly Canvas invites a selection of practitioners to create new work, restricted to the parameters of two 70cm x 170cm rectangles of material attached to one another. These works will operate as both flat dresses for a runway performance on the opening night and as static wall hangings for the duration of the exhibition.
The invited practitioners express various engagements with fabric and bodies within their practice and have been invited to challenge their processes through the constraints of the exhibition's premise. You are free to use whatever combinations of materials you desire as long as the work adheres to the prescribed dress measurements: two 70cm x 170cm dimensions of material with openings for head and limbs ."
I invited Life Gallery to organise an exhibition/a living room next to the exhibition "Arbeidsvitaminen" at Vilma Gold in London in February/March 2015. "Our House in the Middle of Your Street" was a living room with a carpeted floor, artworks by Vittorio Brodmann, Manuela Gernedel, Ann Hirsch, Anne Imhof and Holly White, 2 sofa's and a Playstation. Weekly events were hosted by Emily Jones, Holly White, and Oscar Khan.
Press text by Harry Burke:
“In Summer 2013 I met Oscar one evening. He wanted to cut his hair. I said he could come round and borrow my clippers. He came round to borrow my clippers but for some reason I wasn’t there. Maybe one of us didn’t have a phone. My housemates were there playing video games in the living room. Oscar had a bottle of wine with him. When my housemates left the next month Oscar moved in.
Later on we started a gallery in our living room. We no longer live at that house. Our House in the Middle of Your Street groups paintings, drawings and sculpture by five artists, based in London, Germany, Switzerland and the USA: Vittorio Brodmann, Manuela Gernedel, Ann Hirsch, Anne Imhof, and Holly White. The majority of the artworks are relegated to the walls as the centre of the gallery becomes a social space.”
Events Programme:
Sunday 22nd February – "Just grab my hand and don’t ever drop it". Taylor Swift Deep Listening Party, hosted by Emily Jones and Holly White.
Saturday 7th March – Craft/Embroidery Workshop, hosted by Holly White.
