About the artist

Jill Magid is an artist, writer, and filmmaker based in New York. Across sculpture, installation, performance, text, and moving image, Magid interrogates structures of power on an intimate level, often forming long-term relationships with governmental and corporate systems – among them police departments, intelligence agencies, surveillance networks, and restricted archives – following their rules of engagement to the letter. Her work explores the emotional, philosophical, and legal tensions that exist between institutions and individual agency, often taking the form of a love story between artist and bureaucracy.
