Anthony Miler: Numerous Concerns

Antifurniture, 2026. Exhibition catalog zine. Each copy 12 pp., collated from archival inkjet prints; self-wrappers, saddle-stapled with obi, signed by the artist on the verso. Edition of 99 copies, each unique. Every copy contains 12 drawings reproduced from a selection of 1,188 works chosen from Anthony Miler’s archive of works on paper, 2008–2026. Issued in two printings on the occasion of the artist’s exhibition at SHRINE Gallery, May 2026. The first printing distributes the 1,188 drawings across 99 unique stapled zines. The upcoming second printing will preserve the full printing's 297 folded signatures as a single collected set, all housed in a custom box. (Inquire for prospectus.) Originally from the industrial city of Toledo, Anthony Miler spent a peripatetic childhood in the rural farmlands of Michigan and Ohio, eventually making his way to New York in 2005. The landscapes of Miler’s youth continue to mark his oeuvre with tensely embodied questions of alienation and belonging, self and world. Miler's drawings process the concerns of the itinerant and the outsider, but do not purport to solve any problem other than the problem of drawing; Miler states that the drawings are not intended to ask questions other than drawing questions. Numerous Concerns marks the first public release of the artist’s private archive of drawings from the past eighteen years. The archive demonstrates Miler's stylistic diversity, with ideas developing in a chain of linear progression from one group to the next, but ultimately evolving as a well of reflexive circular production, as made apparent when shuffled and gathered into random pairings in this publication. Miler has recently mounted solo exhibitions at The Pit in Los Angeles, Carling Dalenson in Stockholm, Sweden, Galerias Cristobal in Mexico City, CHART Gallery in New York, and MAKI Gallery in Tokyo, Japan. He has participated in numerous group shows, including at institutions such as Centre de Pompidou in Paris, as well as Willumsens Museum, and the Munkeruphus Musuem both in Denmark.
