Permission as Material: A talk with Jill Magid
Jill Magid is a visual artist working in a variety of mediums, including literature, video, sculpture, photography, and performance. She seeks intimate relations with impersonal structures. Magid is also intrigued by hidden information, being public as a condition for existence, and intimacy in relation to power and observation. At this event, Magid will discuss recent projects and touch upon her new body of work currently in progress.
Jill Magid has had solo exhibitions at Stroom, The Hague; Gagosian Gallery, New York; Yvon Lambert, Paris; Centre D'arte Santa Monica; and Berlin and Sparwasser, Berlin. She has lectured and performed widely at venues including Orchard, Storefront for Art and Architecture, Eyebeam, and the Bowery Poetry Club.

Instead of portraying citizens as victims of Big Brother,
Magid's works opens up a new field of art and activism in which predictable forms of
protest against the almighty eyes of power are turned into a dandy-like performance.
