Sean Miller is an internationally exhibiting, Florida-based artist, curator, and an Assistant Professor at University of Florida. Miller is a founding member of SOIL, a fifteen year-old Seattle gallery/collective in Seattle, Washington and the Founder/Director of the John Erickson Museum of Art (JEMA). Miller’s work explores situations, practices, and information that sustain and define existing power structures in contemporary art and politics. Miller employs obsessive activities, absurd scenarios, humor, and extreme aesthetics, in order to introduce objects and events that question existing categorical and organizational methods within these hierarchal structures. When not busy with JEMA activities, Sean Miller collects, catalogues and photographs art museum dust from museums around the world. Miller recently announced that upon his death he will be cremated and his ashes will be covertly released into major art museums worldwide. |
