Ulrike Müller
58th Biennale di Venezia, Italy
11 May – 24 November 2019
In May 2019, La Biennale di Venezia opened the 58th International Art Exhibition, entitled May You Live in Interesting Times. For the second consecutive edition, Phileas collaborated with the biennial to co-produce works for the participation of an Austrian artist. Last year, curator Ralph Rugoff invited artist Ulrike Müller to exhibit her works both in the Central Pavilion and in the Arsenale.
Ulrike Müller (born 1971 in Brixlegg, Austria) is an artist whose work typically attempts to combine social and individual experiences as well as to blur the connection between the artist and the viewer. Associated with the New York-based feminist genderqueer group LTTR, Müller strives to disrupt traditional gender norms and suggest alternatives through her feminist lens. She is also editor of LTTR’s eponymous journal. She represented Austria at the 12th Cairo Biennale in 2011.
