The Gagosian Gallery's Madison Avenue space in New York City is currently presenting
"With Full Consent," works dated 2004-2007 by artist Jill Magid. The exhibition continues Magid's investigation of the emotional and philosophical links between authority, protective institutions and the individual. The artist has staged and edited scenes that were captured by police using public CCTV surveillance cameras, using the footage to "seek the potential softness and intimacy of their (police) technologies, the fallacy of their omniscient point of view ..." Magid is a graduate of science in visual studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Mass., and completed an artist-in-residence program at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. The artist, who now lives and works in N.Y.C. and Amsterdam, has completed major solo exhibitions with the Tate Liverpool (2004) and the Centre D'Art Santa Monica in Barcelona (2007).
