Opening Tuesday, March 2nd, from 5PM - 7PM
John Miller is an artist, writer and musician based in New York and Berlin. Among other things, his work considers questions of production, reception, and value as it relates to the making and circulation of art. Using deadpan humor, in combination with everyday debris, fake gold leaf, brown paint, and genre tableau, Miller creates sculpture, photography, painting, and writing that confound the distinctions in the spectacular, the exploitative, the everyday, and the value of craftsmanship. As a critic he is keenly interested in the role of aesthetics within mass culture.
