Blister Pack
October 24 – November 29, 2008
Opening Reception Oct 23rd, 6 – 9 pm

Werkstätte is pleased to present the opening of Blister Pack, a solo exhibition of new sculpture and drawing by artist Matt King (Assistant Professor Art Foundation Program and Sculpture + Extended Media), on October 23, 2008. By exploring the poetics of quotidian objects, King presents a unique perspective of our increasingly standardized mass–market culture.
With his work, King shows us the strangeness of an individual subjectivity that is framed by a culture saturated with serially produced objects, images, and spaces. The complex physicality of his sculptures demands that they be experienced with attention, and yet, they contain dead–ends, false trails, jokes, and ellipses that thwart rational understanding. Throughout the work, fugitive meanings glance off one another, suggesting a broad condition of uncertainty and mistrust, longing and promise.
