PROJECT ROOM: MATT JOHNSON
303 Gallery, New York
July 8 – August 13, 2021

In his wood sculptures, Matt Johnson considers the expressive potential of consumer experience,
articulating the formal qualities of a crumpled paper cup or a perfectly spiraled stack of National
Geographic magazines with meticulous detail. Pairing quotidian subject matter with unexpected
materials, Johnson’s true to scale sculptures act as playfully reverent monuments to the objects
which populate our everyday lives.
