Ulrike Müller (born 1971 in Brixlegg, Austria) is a contemporary visual artist. Müller is a member of the New York-based feminist genderqueer group LTTR as well as an editor of its eponymous journal. She also represented Austria at the Cairo Biennale in 2011. She is currently a professor and Co-Chair of Painting at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
Ulrike Müller was born in 1971 in Brixlegg, Austria. From 1991-1996 Müller studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, in Austria. She also studied Painting at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria and attended both the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the PS1 Studio Program.
Mülller's practice has been described as addressing contemporary feminist and Genderqueer concerns, extending from the feminist movements of the 1970s and onward. She is a member of the feminist genderqueer collective LTTR. She uses techniques of painting, performance, sculpture, publishing, geometrics, abstraction, video/audio, and textiles to explore questions of body and identity politics and interrupt and criticize the gender binaries. For instance, for her exhibition Raw/Cooked at the Brooklyn Museum in 2012, Müller invited a range of feminist and queer artists, including Nicole Eisenman, A.L. Steiner and Amy Sillman to create two-dimensional renderings of t-shirt quotes taken from the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn.
