MATT MULLICAN/ Monday 05 - Friday 09 November/ VISITS 
ID/SCULPTURE/NEW GENRES

Matt Mullican is this year’s Art Department Art Council Chair. He will be here for one week each quarter and will give an Artist Lecture in the spring. As Council Chair, he will conduct 3-4 days of grad studio visits during each quarter.  THERE ARE 21 MEETINGS FOR FALL ALONE.

The work of Matt Mullican (born 1951, Santa Monica, USA) focuses on the 

meaning of life and the world order, which he tries to make visible in his spatially 

invasive installations. He gets hypnotized a lot.  
Mullican sees each object, each person and each phenomenon (or their depiction) as part of the universe and as a universe in 

itself. The artist is convinced that all that exists has a meaning that can be 

understood from a concrete context. This world view dovetails with both the 

immoderate as well as unfulfillable claim to collecting everything, presenting it in 

a system and thus give the world that surrounds us a structure. In so doing, 

mullican finds support in scientific methods like classifying in taxonomies and 

encyclopaedias. The result is a system that becomes a model of the world, of a 

subjective cosmology in which everything is interconnected and provides us with 

very astonishing perspectives.

DIKE BLAIR/ THURSDAY 18 OCTOBER/ VISITS 

CRITIC/PAINTING/SCULPTURE

http://www.thing.net/~lilyvac/

Dike Blair makes assemblages using carpeting, light fixtures, photographs, and painted wooden crates with other paintings inside.  He often makes paintings and sculptures in tandem. "I tend to work in binaries, and they show up not just between one practice and another, but within each of my practices. It always seems to me that if you make a decision to do one thing that the opposite decision makes just as much sense. There’s always a flip side."  His name rhymes with bike.  He used to hang out at CBGB's back in the day. 

Blair is a writer and a senior professor of painting at RISD. He studied at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, Skowhegan and received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1977.  He was in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. A collection of his writings, “Again: Selected Interviews and Essays” was published by WhiteWalls in 2007. In 2009, Blair received a Guggenheim Fellowship and was the subject of a ten-year survey at the Weatherspoon Art Museum.
