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.

Mullican’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in Europe. His work was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial and has recently been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2005); Ludwig Museum, Cologne (2005); and Museu Serralves; Porto (2000). Mullican’s work is the subject of an upcoming solo exhibition at the STUK Kunstencentrum in Leuven, Belgium (traveling to De Appel, Amsterdam and Haus der Kunst, Munich).
