Nicole Eisenman: Maker's Muck

Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, 'Maker's Muck' features 17 experiments in interpretation, by writers from Hannah Black and Cyrus Dunha to Sheila Heti and Lynne Tillman. At the center of Nicole Eisenman’s installation 'Maker’s Muck', a plaster figure is seated at a potter’s wheel, surrounded by sculptures in various stages of formation. This new publication collects the responses of seventeen authors—including Cyrus Dunham, Matt Longabucco, Sheila Heti and Lynne Tillman—to the work, following the trajectories of 'Maker’s Muck' and its various objects in essays, metafictional reflections and other experiments in interpretation.
