Author: Mulleady, Jill
The first major monograph on Swiss artist Jill Mulleady, surveying her output over the last 10 years. In her paintings and woodcuts, characters enact the physiological stress reactions of “fight or flight”: either adopting extreme or violent survival methods, or retreating into isolation. This features new essays by curator Laura McLean-Ferris, author Ottessa Moshfegh and anthropologist Michael Taussig.Mulleady's work roots out fantasies, motivations and fears in order to depict a landscape of polarization and crisis. Ancient mythologies and recent histories are reanimated in her feverish work with an enduring, twisted force. And yet, opposed and extreme, the figures and scenes featured also point to futures in which beings are pushed into marginal spaces, suggesting an ominous threat at civilization’s centre.
ISBN 9798987633212. Lenz Press/Swiss Institute. pb. 185 pages. 130 colour, 10 b/w ills. 27.9 x 21.6 cm.
