ULRIKE MÜLLER

Ulrike Müller (b. 1971, Austria; lives in New York) engages relationships between abstraction, bodies, and a concept of painting that is not restricted to brush and canvas. Employing a wide range of materials and techniques, including enamel, performance, publishing, and textiles, her work moves between different contexts and publics, invites collaboration, and expands to other realms of production in processes of exploration and exchange. 

Müller attended the Academy of Fine Arts,Vienna, and the Whitney Independent Study Program New York. Her work has been shown at mumok - Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation (Vienna, 2015);  the Whitney Biennial (New York, 2017); the New Museum (New York, 2017); the 57th Carnegie International (Pittsburgh, 2018); at the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf, 2018);  in the international exhibition of the 58th Venice Biennale (2019); The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design (Philadelphia, 2019). She organized Herstory Inventory: 100 Feminist Drawings by 100 Artists, a collaborative project that was exhibited together with objects from the respective collections at the Brooklyn Museum and at the Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2012, and has been a co-editor of the queer feminist journal LTTR. In 2010, Müller represented Austria in the Cairo Biennial. At mumok in Vienna, Müller co-curated the collection exhibition Always, Always, Others with Manuela Ammer in 2017. She is represented by Bridget Donahue Gallery, NY; Vielmetter, Los Angeles; RODEO, London; Galerie Meyer Kainer, Vienna.
