John Miller American, b. 1954

John Miller lives and works in New York and Berlin. He was part of an influential group of artists who studied at CalArts in the 1970s. Miller has produced an eclectic body of work spanning painting, drawing, photography, and writing, marked as much by seriality as by individuality. In 2016, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, presented the first major American survey of his work.

 

Miller has held one-person exhibitions at Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Kunsthalle Zürich; Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Geneva; Magasin – Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble; and Kunstverein Hamburg. He has participated in major group exhibitions at the New Museum, New York; CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain, Bordeaux; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; and MoMA PS1, New York. His work was included in the 1991 Whitney Biennial and the 2010 Gwangju Biennale.

 

Miller’s writing and criticism have appeared in Artforum, e-flux, and Texte zur Kunst, and have been compiled in the publications The Price Club: Selected Writings, 1977–1996 (JRP Editions and the Consortium, 2000) and The Ruin of Exchange (Geneva and Dijon: JRP-Ringier and Les Presses du Réel, 2012).
