Matthew Lusk: More Broken Glass Than There Was Window
This project is a large-scale installation that will open in September at Zieher Smith Gallery. It will be my first solo show.
I've been given an opportunity to have a solo exhibition at Zieher Smith gallery in Chelsea this September. My proposal was to turn their space into something like an abandoned bank, complete with offices, a boardroom, a vault, and furnish that new environment with an array of objects and gestures that would further an extended inquiry into the nature of various aspects of the American Dream. This project isn't about banking, per se, but more concerned with greater themes of responsibility and disaster and redemption and hope. It has as much to do with failed levies as levied failures. This bank of sorts will be highly charged and deeply anachronistic, reaching into many different aspects of the history of American dreams.
