Notating the Cosmology, 1973-2008 reproduces and organises pages torn from Matt Mullican\u2019s own notebooks,\u00a0accumulated over more than thirty years. The form imitates retrospective and biographic models, and integrates\u00a0work notes used in Mullican\u2019s performances under hypnosis that evoke his imaginary studio. Filled with\u00a0notations, observations, sketches and reflections on cosmology, Mullican\u2019s notebooks display modes of perception\u00a0and formalism characteristic in his work: accumulating, collecting, adapting forms and thought patterns that are\u00a0\u201calready there\u201d. Thus, pictograms and concepts are reworked, classified and adapted into new modalities.\u00a0Borrowing from many moments of discourse and different forms of language (mathematics, visual, literary, etc.),\u00a0Matt Mullican elicits a singular cosmology that invites us to reconsider our ways of constructing the world.\u00a0Articulated around a semi-fictional\/ semi-real Ego, Mullican creates a kind of parallel world to our own in which\u00a0he organizes disciplines according to his own rules: nature and its evolution, the world of objects, symbolic\u00a0values, signs and concepts.<\/p>\n
Through his concise line and the apparently clear schema, the (false) demonstrative evidence of the diagram,\u00a0and through philosophical considerations, Mullican immerses us in an incomplete cartography in which\u00a0one senses his encyclopedic mind and metaphysical direction. He touches upon essential events where Death\u00a0walks hand in hand with the Destiny of the fictional Ego, where time and logic are turned in upon themselves.<\/p>\n
