Matt Mullican
Artist
For over three decades, Matt Mullican has created a complex body of work which deals with systems of knowledge, meaning, language, and signification. Mullican continues to be concerned with the relationship between perception and reality, between the ability to see something and the ability to represent it. Mullican’s oeuvre which takes the form of drawing, collage, video, sculpture, performance, and installation, confronts the nature of subjective understanding, rationality, and cognition.
