artist profile : matt morris
February 5th, 2009we were lucky to have matt morris host our first ever film screening in january 2009.
here’s a little more about this knowledgable and gifted facilitator…
Matt Morris is a transplant from southern Louisiana and a graduate of the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He makes art and writes. Art meaning installations of fragile objects, video, sound, painting, and a lot of unquantifiables. Writing meaning poetry, art criticism, journalism, recipes, and other notes. He has presented exhibitions, lectures, and poetry performances in local art venues, such as semantics gallery, the Carnegie Visual + Performing Arts Center, Artworks, Nicholas Gallery, the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and Murmur Gallery. He creates works that address, deconstruct, and make peace with forces of abstract thought. They express an interest in the places where concrete ideas fall back into ambiguity and where poetics, aesthetics and nostalgia influence discourse.
