News for spring 2012:
Mira Schor organized "Art Practice, Activism, and Pedagogy: Some Feminist Views," a conference at Parsons The New School for Design, April 5, 2012, with speakers including artists A. K. Burns, Andrey Chan, Andrea Geyer, Susan Bee, Maureen Connor, Ulrike Muller, Caitlin Rueter and Suzanne Stroebe.

"MIRA SCHOR: 'VOICE' AND 'SPEECH'", Schor's first exhibition at Marvelli Gallery in New York City opens March 29, 2012 and runs through April 28.

In December 2011, Mira Schor and Susan Bee published M/E/A/N/I/N/G Online #5: 25th Anniversary Edition. This edition includes writings by over seventy artists, art historians and poets, many clearly inspired and energized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, and continues M/E/A/N/I/N/G's commitment to maintaining an open, non-profit space for independent writing about art.

In January 2010, Schor was awarded a Creative Capital / Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant to develop A Year of Positive Thinking, a blog which includes writings on contemporary art and culture to accompany and provides a positive counterpoint to the publication of her book A Decade of Negative Thinking: Essays on Art, Politics, and Daily Life. Schor's most recent writing about contemporary art and other cultural events, including films, poetry, and political events can be read at ayearofpositivethinking.com. She has a one-person exhibition, Mira Schor: Paintings from The Nineties to Now at CB1 Gallery in Los Angeles, November 20, 2010–January 9, 2011. Her work was included in Shifting the Gaze: Painting and Feminism, at the Jewish Museum in New York, September 12, 2010– January 30, 2011.
