For over three decades, New York-based artist Matt Mullican has created a complex body of work concerned with systems of knowledge, meaning, language, and signification. Since the end of the 1970s, he has also conducted performances and created drawings while under hypnosis as a means to explore the nature of behavior. Accompanying the exhibition Matt Mullican: A Drawing Translates the Way of Thinking, this publication includes work from throughout Mullican’s career, emphasizing the role of drawing in his attempt to understand, organize, and categorize experience. The volume also comprises a conversation between Mullican and Curator Joao Ribas as well as transcriptions of the artist’s handwritten notebook.
