Studio Artist in 2023-2024 Whitney Independent Study Program

I’m excited to announce that I will be a Studio Artist in 2023-2024 Whitney Independent Study Program. The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program, Critical Studies Program, and Curatorial Program. The ISP provides a setting within which students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical scholarship, and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices, institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture.

The Whitney Museum of American Art is transforming artist Roy Lichtenstein’s Greenwich Village studio into a permanent home for the ISP. More about that here.

No Emoji for Ennui at the Everson Museum x Lightwork

“Lightwork x Urban Video Project presents No Emoji for Ennui, a group exhibition featuring the work of filmmakers Lana Z Caplan, Ross Meckfessel, Alison Nguyen, and Matt Whitman. The exhibition explores the difficult-to-define emotional tenor of our time—one that often leaves us overstimulated and underwhelmed at the same time it demands endless positivity.

The installation will be on view from January 27 thru March 26, 2022, at UVP’s outdoor projection site on the north facade of the @eversonmuseum Thursday through Saturday, from dusk until 11 p.m.”
