EJ Hill: This Means Everything to Me

This Means Everything to Me is the first monograph by contemporary American artist EJ Hill. The book chronicles Hill’s dynamic practice which includes painting, performance, sculpture, and installation.

Published in conjunction with the closing of Hill’s first solo museum exhibition Brake Run Helix at The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), the book offers a retrospective account with insights, essays, and other critical reflections on works produced between 2009 and 2023—works which position themselves on tenets of personal endurance, collective faith, redemption, and refusal.

EJ Hill is a visual artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Much of what he knows, he has learned from: Estelle Thompson, Karen Thompson, Ernest Hill Jr., Margaret Nomentana, Joan Giroux, Adam Brooks and Mat Wilson (Industry of the Ordinary), Andrea Fraser, Mario Ybarra Jr., Na Mira, Matt Austin, Young Chung, Jordan Casteel, TLC, Lauryn Hill, and Augie Grahn. He is forever indebted to these educators and thanks them endlessly.
