Having pulled off the tricky feat of being a British artist based in New York representing Germany at the Venice Biennale with a talking cat, Liam Gillick continues to be a reference point for critically complex, intellectually ambitious art. With his yearlong ‘retrospective’ concluding at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, an MIT book of essays by leading theorists devoted to his work, a solo show at the MAK in Vienna and architectural collaborations in Vancouver and Mexico, you’d think Gillick wouldn’t have any time to teach at Columbia, Bard College and Harvard. But he does.
