JILL MAGID

Born in 1973 in Bridgeport, USA, Jill Magid lives and works in New York.  As an artist and writer, she strives to dissipate the boundaries between art and everyday life. In her often interconnected work, Magid also makes reference to structures of authority, particularly institutions. She reveals the emotional, philosophical and legal tensions that characterize relations between individuals and so-called "patronage" establishments.  Critical, she inserts herself into systems of control to become a protagonist. To this end, Magid seeks out systemic loopholes that enable her to make contact with people "on the inside".
