Kurt Mueller #Remember

Kurt Mueller is a research driven artist.  Mueller is known for his interaction and ability to engage his audience with each piece he does. Through his work he often provokes  consideration of historical actions, events, figures, text and narrative. "Mueller strives toward art that is critically responsive to the social and political conditions of its time," as said by San Antonio's ArtSpace blog. Kurt Mueller used Twitter as his creative connection between his work and audience. He was the selected artist for the twitter-based project space mbgETC. "#Remember" (#mbgETCRemember), 2011, is the experiement using Twitter to (re)issue calls to 'remember'. Mueller is using the act of remembrance through a public outlet, Twitter, and how one's act of remembrance can offer a glimpse into another person. Mueller interacts with his audience by them unknowingly interact with his piece, unscripted. He has a way of disguising his topics he's sharing, so it can be more involving and less intimidating. Mueller is very interested in attaching material to recall memory, identity and create action.
