Dave Muller

1964–

Introduction

Dave Muller (born 1964) is an American contemporary artist whose paintings and installations explore human connection, community, and shared cultural histories through music consumption. Drawing on his experience as a DJ and record collector, Muller creates large-format acrylic paintings that examine music, its subcultures, and how the accumulation of cultural references in contemporary music shapes individual and collective identity. He also directs and curates Three Day Weekend, a series of nomadic exhibitions presented internationally.
