Early life and educationMark Miremont was born in Madrid, Spain and studied philosophy at UCLA and Harvard. His first experimental film led to him being invited into Graduate School at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.[1][2] Music Videos & Sundance FellowMiremont directed numerous music videos to put himself through film school.[3][4][5][6][7] The first video he directed was also Soundgarden's first video, "Flower".[8][9] The video was put into regular rotation on MTV and is notable for being the first music video to establish the grunge aesthetic.[1][10] His experimental films and music videos caught the attention of the Sundance Institute.[2] He was invited to become a fellow and develop the script for his first experimental feature film, The White Ocean.[11][12] He directed actors Lothaire Bluteau, J. E. Freeman and Glenn Close at the Institute's June Filmmaker's Lab.[12][13] Photography & Experimental FilmsPhotographyMiremont shoots stylized portraits and often erotic figure studies of notable people in alternative culture like: Dita Von Teese, Mamie Van Doren, KMFDM, Soundgarden, Switchblade Symphony. The Chop Tops, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Julie Strain, Puma Swede, Jessica Jaymes, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Chris Whitley, Lazlo Bane, Gren, Masuimi Max, and many others.[1][10] His photography has been exhibited around the world and featured in the alternative culture and art press: Argentinian Art Magazine, Revolutionart calls his work, "brash", "sensual" and "largely responsible for the resurgence of the pinup".[1] YNOT Europe describes his work as "wildly original and perfectly composed".[10] AVN Magazine calls his work, "distinctive";[14] and he has been dubbed, "The Pope of Pinup", by Italian Art Magazine STIRATO.[15][16] Carnival of DesiresIn 2004, Miremont released a collection of eight short films under the title "Carnival of Desires". Each film explores a different theme related to desire and according to AVN, was "shot at an opulent mansion... using a variety techniques".[14] In his review, AVN Editor, Tim Connelly, called it a "glittering and unbelievably hypnotic dreamscape" with "Felliniesque moments of Technicolor fantasy".[17] The Resurrection of Beauty: Solo Photography Exhibit & Film PremiereFrom 2010-2011, Miremont had a solo exhibit of his photography at La Galerie Provacatrice in Amsterdam, entitled "The Resurrection of Beauty".[10][18] The exhibit coincided with the premiere of an early cut of his feature length experimental film of the same name. The film stars several notable models, including Dita Von Teese.[19][20] The screening took place at the world's largest annual alternative fashion event, Wasteland, for an audience of over 6000 people.[18][21] PhilosophyThe Resurrection of Beauty: ManifestoIn conjunction with the solo photography exhibit and film premiere, the gallery published Miremont's "The Resurrection of Beauty: a manifesto for 21st century art".[18][22][23] Edward Grande of The University of York wrote that Miremont's manifesto is "concerned with refuting the beliefs of artistic rivals"; in this case, Dadism and Conceptual Art. Grande adds that, "though offering engaging discourse on current issues", the manifesto is "ostentatious".[24] The University of North Carolina's Aesthetic Manifesto Analysis lists two central lines from the manifesto as: "Beauty is the purpose of art, just as a building is the purpose of architecture" and "The utility of art is to inform us of beauty, just as the utility of science is to inform us of truth."[25] An aphorism from the manifesto, “It is far more revolutionary to be sincere, romantic and idealistic”, was used and credited in a 2011 marketing campaign by the French cognac brand, Courvoisier.[26][27] References1. ^1 2 3 Alighieri, Beatrice: REVOLUTIONART MAGAZINE, "The Resurrection of Beauty: the art and philosophy of Mark Miremont" (Issue #17, March 2009, pg. 239), 34MB pdf download, accessed online, May 27, 2015 2. ^1 Glucksman, Mary: FILMMAKER MAGAZINE, "Mark Miremont's The White Ocean" (winter issue, 1996, pg. 32) 3. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14&dq=mark+miremont&hl=en&sa=X&ei=boZiVfqkB6m0sATD8IHgBw&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=mark%20miremont&f=false Morris, Chris: BILLBOARD MAGAZINE: "Whitley Returns To Familiar Turf" (January 19, 1997, pg. 14)] Accessed online, May 27, 2015 4. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=2gkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA74&dq=mark+miremont&hl=en&sa=X&ei=boZiVfqkB6m0sATD8IHgBw&ved=0CD0Q6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=mark%20miremont&f=false Atwood, Brett: BILLBOARD MAGAZINE: "Recent Music Video Production" (August 16, 1997, pg. 74)] Accessed online, May 27, 2015 5. ^MTV.COM: Miremont directed video for Lazlo Bane in MTV's top ten for 1997 6. ^MTV.COM: Miremont directs Toad the Wet Sprocket's 1st video 7. ^[https://auth.archive.rollingstone.com Ressner, Jeffrey: ROLLINGSTONE MAGAZINE: "Toad the Wet Sprocket's New Music Video" (Oct. 5, 1989, pg. 18)] Accessed online, May 27, 2015 8. ^SOUNDGARDEN OFFICIAL BIO (click: BIO Soundgarden 1989) 9. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=Bg8JBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA554&dq=mark+miremont&hl=en&sa=X&ei=boZiVfqkB6m0sATD8IHgBw&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=mark%20miremont&f=true Smith, Emily: "The Pearl Jam Handbook", page 554] Accessed online, May 27, 2015 10. ^1 2 3 YNOT EUROPE, "Amsterdam Art Gallery to Host Provocative Photography Exhibit", October 7, 2010, Accessed online, May 27, 2015 11. ^VARIETY - "Sundance Announces 8 new Directing Fellows", April 5th, 1991, page 47 Accessed online, May 27, 2015 12. ^1 "THE SUNDANCE INSTITUTE ARCHIVE - june lab projects" Accessed online, May 27, 2015 13. ^"THE SUNDANCE INSTITUTE ARCHIVE - Mark Miremont's White Ocean" Accessed online, May 27, 2015 14. ^1 Gillespie, Jack: AVN MAGAZINE, "Mark Miremont’s Carnival of Desires to be Released", page 57, September 10, 2004, Accessed online, May 27, 2015 15. ^Barcaroli, Sebastiano: STIRATO ART MAGAZINE "Mark Miremont: The Pope of Pin-up."
