Nicole Eisenman: Maker's Muck Published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers. Authors from Hannah Black to Sheila Heti explore the resonances of Eisenman’s enigmatic sculptural ensemble At the center of New York–based artist Nicole Eisenman’s (born 1965) sculpture Maker’s Muck, an outsize plaster figure sits hunched over a potter’s wheel, on which a mound of ersatz clay interminably spins. The floor teems with sculptures. Some of the pieces are fully rendered and recognizable: an owl, a ketchup bottle. For this publication, Eisenman has invited 15 authors to follow the trajectories of Maker’s Muck’s various objects in essays, metafictional reflections and other experiments in interpretation.
Authors include: hannah baer, Hannah Black, Durga Chew-Bose, Sheila Heti, Alhena Katsof, Shiv Kotecha, Matt Longabucco, Sam McKinniss, Ryan McNamara, Tess Pollok, Sam Roeck, Jasmine Sanders, Cyrus Dunham, Lynne Tillman and Janique Vigier.
