About

Why this artist matters now

Jill Magid works across video, installation, writing, and performance to probe surveillance, state secrecy, and institutional power. Her projects characteristically involve direct, prolonged negotiation with governments and corporations, embedding herself within their systems to expose the emotional textures of bureaucratic authority. The work operates at the intersection of the procedural and the intimate, treating official protocols as both subject matter and artistic medium.
