About Mirjam Fischer
A graduate from the University of Berne with a Master Degree in art history, Mirjam Fischer is a freelance book publisher. She has initiated, produced and realised among others a complex exhibition catalogue for the Kunstmuseum Bern, "The Weak Sex. Thematic Group Show of Contemporary Art," a monograph of Jean Tinguely's late work "Torpedo Institut" as well as the catalogue raisonné of Susi and Ueli Berger furniture design that will be published by Scheidegger & Spiess.
Furthermore, Mirjam extensively researched for graphic material for the artist book by Haris Epaminonda "Chapters I-XXX" that was published in conjunction with her exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich in 2013. Simultaneously, she was in charge of the one day symposium "Rules & Schools" in Leipzig, Germany, that took place on the occasion of The Leipzig Book Fair, where Switzerland was the guest of honour in 2014. Lectures and talks illuminated questions about the historical relevance and timeliness of rules in Swiss book design. As a producer of books she had to accommodate the specific requirements of a particular book genre. In her role as a publisher, Mirjam had to address many questions such as - Can the artist's book be used as a platform of art and promote an artistic practice, must an exhibition catalogue or a short guide to the exhibition meet mainly service-oriented requirements?
