Matthew Lutz-Kinoy
Galerie Yukiko Kawase (new space), Paris
The starting point is Lutz-Kinoy's meditation on the origin of avant-garde, a meeting place in artistic history where a group of artists come together to discuss work and create a movement. Central to the exhibition are the reflective transparent sculptures, the warped objects that represent a fictive space consumed by distortion and reflection.
For this 2010/11 season opening exhibition, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy presents Warped Passage*, an exhibition of drawings, print works and three-dimensional forms that channel an abstracted space that only can be seen through creative fervours.
The starting point is Lutz-Kinoy’s meditation on the origin of avant-garde, a meeting place in artistic history where a group of artists come together to discuss work and create a movement. Central to the exhibition are the reflective transparent sculptures, the warped objects that represent a fictive space consumed by distortion and reflection. Like an invisible “dark matter” in a space, it observes and influences those social places of exchange and creation. In an edge of the distorted space and time, we share a moment of collective fantasy; the lights refract and expose our movement.
*The show title refers to a book (2005) by Lisa Randall, an American theoretical physicist, in which she explains how our universe may have many unseen dimensions.
Born 1984 in Brooklyn, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy is inspired by everyday objects and youth culture. Yet his imagination brings the viewers well beyond into the sensation of timelessness, the whirlwind of tenderness. The recent exhibitions and in-site performances/video projections includes: USA (Grand Arts KC, Brucennial10 NY, X-Initiative NY, Socrates Sculpture Park NY), UK (Hayward Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery London, Urbis Center Manchester), and throughout Europe (Kunstverein Amsterdam, Kolnishcer Kunstverein Cologne, French Institute of Berlin, Silberkuppe Berlin). He is graduated from Cooper Union in NY and currently a resident at Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. This is his 3rd solo show at Galerie Yukiko Kawase since 2005.
