Working across film, video, sculpture, painting, and performance, Jillian Mayer deploys humor to address monumental issues, such as our complicated relationship to technology, or environmental collapse. Using industrial materials such as glass, epoxy resin, foam, fiberglass, plastic, and metal, Mayer’s work provokes conversations about identity, authenticity, and sincerity regarding our often-perverse engagement with the digital landscape, or what our relationship to the actual landscape might resemble in the absence of a techno-world.

Mayer’s work has been featured in Artforum, Art Papers, Art in America, ArtNews, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times. Mayer is a recipient of the Creative Capital Fellowship, South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual/Media Artists Fellowship, Cintas Foundation Fellowship for Cuban Artists, and was named one of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” by Filmmaker Magazine.
