Join Curator Mike Calway-Fagen, and Education Consultant, Josiah Golson, in the Studio with Matt Ager Friday, July 3rd at 12:30 PM EST. Matt will be a participating artist in the exhibition Anthropometry which will run in our 2022 exhibition season. Mike, Josiah, and Matt will be continuing their conversation about how their work reinforces and/or breaks down the themes explored in the exhibition.

About Matt:

Matt Ager is an artist based in London, making sculptures from ceramic, plaster, domestic materials, and found objects. He is particularly interested in fluidly composing works that address mimicry, design, and architecture. He believes that objects and textures carry particular identities which is continuously exploring through his practice. His primary focus is using making as a way of thinking. Through using a combination of existing materials alongside simple and sophisticated ways of fabrication, the work builds, nurtures, and embodies a social dialogue.

The work establishes a relationship with re-definition; it usually includes the use of the assisted readymade and builds narratives around social status and taste, constructing a crafted work out of something that may initially appear mundane. 

The notion of the ‘unknown’ in how we develop relationships with things and people is mirrored in the making of the work. Not knowing how things might end up. Reworking, replacing, remolding is integral.
