Lucky Red Presents:
New Work by MIRMY: Boxes made with real skeletons
Saturday, July 8: 8PM
For the past three years, Mirmy has been producing unique artwork incorporating skeletons and taxidermy, starting with members of the weasel family (which is surprisingly vast) then moving on to snakes; mostly cobras.
This, her latest collection, features boxes incorporating animal skeletons (2 snakes, a rat, cat, rabbit, skink, fish bat and a frog) as central figures. Always thoughtful, Mirmy has provided most pieces with handy open and shut doors in case sensitive or squeamish guests arrive to view your art collection.
Before the animal rights folks freak out, we’d like to advise people that Mirmy is a proud member of Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists (MART): a group of taxidermists who adhere to a code of ethics regarding not killing living things for the purpose of using them in art.
An added treat for the evening will be a performance by Wendosa, who I am told are two charming young ladies, playing cow-punk in the Lucky Red courtyard.
All in all, a fine way to pass a hot summer evening. See you there.

Of course the weasel family is a vast one – just look at the current American Bar Association member directory and the White House staff telephone book.
I encourage the marginalization of lawyers, but I wonder if there’s a back story here?
Perhaps the melding of rodent-like critters and rodent-like humans into the perfect synthesis of behavior and motivation?
Oh. Sorry, a little slow on the uptake. Just based on my professional observation of certain species in my latest career.
You’d enjoy the poetic justice at the legal society for which I volunteer. They’re moving. To 666 East Hastings Street.
I’m going to go off in my corner and giggle helplessly at that one
Some punchlines just write themselves, eh?
