Jill Magid's exhibition "Notice of a Citizen" opens at Olney Gleason gallery in New York on June 11, 2026. The show features sculptures, neon works, and drawings that explore the ambiguous relationship between a citizen and the presidency, taking its conceptual starting point from the artist's observation about the Federal Register's first issue published in her lifetime.
This exhibition matters because Magid is known for critically examining systems of power, surveillance, and institutional authority through conceptual art. By framing citizenship in relation to presidential governance and bureaucratic documentation, she continues her practice of making visible the often-invisible structures that shape personal and political identity. The show represents a timely artistic intervention into questions of civic belonging and governmental authority.
