Biography

Marilyn Volkman (1984, American) is an artist whose work is a constellation of hyperrealist performances and collaborations. Her practice incorporates the ubiquity of corporate aesthetics in critical culture, and forms a testing ground for transformation. Art objects constantly redefine our notions of value, and rather than upholding or supporting some external system of worth, Volkman's work operates as a continual, dialectic critique on these systems and – even - on itself. If anything can be seen as a universal value associated with art, it is this constant critical lens that focuses on redefinition and revolution.
