Matt Mullican (b. 1951, Santa Monica, California) was invited to hold the XIX edition of the Artists' Research Laboratory (CSAV). Active since the early 1970s, Mullican is a pioneer in the use of hypnosis in contemporary art. For over four decades he has focused on creating a vocabulary and a system of signs and symbols that offer a polyhedric vision of the universe. Mullican’s work is an incessant probing of the relations between reality and perception, in his ongoing attempt to explain and give a structure to every aspect of the human condition. His work has been exhibited in numerous international institutions and he participated in several collective exhibitions among which: Whitney Biennial, New York (2008), Singapore Biennale (2011) and the 55th Venice Biennale (2013).

The scarf he designed for the foundation retraces the motifs and shapes that characterize his symbolic universe.
