May 9-17th: Matthew Scheatzle, Never/Always

Objects free from the tyranny of careerism and preconception, redefining particular versions of perfection to create something outside of oneself that lives whole on its own. It’s reasonable to think of this collection as a unique chunk of creative time. This clip opens up, let’s the aristocrats and the working class material free associate and vibe off each other. You don’t need each story to appreciate the beauty in the rough bits or the cut fits. Even so, you’re right, you got it; you are inside because you have been invited to see your visions of happiness in these material articulations.

These objects mollify the frustrating nature of existence by being simple receptacles in which to entertain cycling thoughts of the how and the why. Possibly these pieces are acting as condensed shrines to austerity that might seek a quiet place inside, a peculiar phenomena which we lack the right words to describe but know exists underneath, at the edges, and around the bend.
