Mira Fuchs
Mira Fuchs is the public face of artist Melanie Jame Wolf’s eightyear private life as a stripper. By drawing on the specific vocabularies of this bodily practice, she questions ideas surrounding gender, sexuality, performative intimacy, and dance as labour.

Melanie Jame Wolf makes artworks, performances, and texts about power, persona and the phenomenon of “show business”: the liminal, the persuasive, the deceptive, the staged, and the performed in the political, theatrical and everyday. Her work explores the vulnerability of the live moment and the body as an unruly political riddle. These investigations are expressed through shape-shifting and play with language in surprising and humorous ways.
Spaces that have presented her work include Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kunstmuseum Basel – Gegenwart, KW – Institute of Contemporary Art, HAU – Hebbel am Ufer, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, nGbK, The National 2019: New Australian Art biennial, VAEFF – Film Festival NYC, Arts Santa Monica, Schwules Museum, Sophiensæle, Münchner Kammerspiele, Arts House Melbourne, Kasseler Dokfest, Bärenzwinger Berlin, SOPHIE TAPPEINER and Institute of Modern Art Brisbane. Wolf was one of 8 nominees for the 2022 Berlin Art Prize.
