Matthew Dettmer Double Holiday
Opening: Wednesday 30 April, 6-8pm Dates: 30 April-17 May 2014Matthew Dettmer’s practice is concerned with our manufactured environment; that being all of the designed objects that we buy, use and see everyday. He uses sculpture, painting and video to illustrate these themes. By appropriating aspects of found objects, re-imagined forms are created. Within this exhibition Dettmer creates a dialogue between cultural signifiers and material transformation.
