Throughout his career, John Miller has pursued an ambitious and cross-disciplinary investigation into so-called middlebrow culture and artifice-laden consumer societies. His recent relief sculptures and installations feature gilded junk—found Styrofoam, plastic objects, and discarded wood tables overlaid with gold leaf. The works reference the decadence of our current moment and speak to the instability of cultural and economic excess. He has presented major exhibitions at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland; and Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania.
VAS SOCIAL HOUR: Join SFAI for a reception in the Café from 6:30–7:30 pm before the lecture.
