source: Julian BlumMiriam Umiń is an artist based between Berlin and New Brunswick whose practice examines the infrastructural and systemic conditions shaping how objects are produced, branded, and circulated. She approaches objects as part of broader networks influenced by logistics, labor, bureaucracy, and economic exchange, with a focus on how materials acquire aesthetic, political, and economic meaning. Through reinterpreting infrastructural elements, her work reveals the often invisible conditions that underpin cultural and artistic production.
