Matt Copson

Opis

This monographic catalogue is co-published by KW and CURA. on the occasion of Matt Copsonâs first institutional solo exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. In his hybrid practiceâdrawing from pop culture, myths, ancient philosophy, and medieval folkloreâCopson explores existential questions and contemporary subjectivity, which he sees as increasingly shaped by constant flux, spectacle, and the economies of attention. Copsonâs installations often feel like environments, constructed spaces that invite viewers to step inside and inhabit worlds where archetypal figures like babies, anthropomorphized animals, or folkloric characters become vehicles for exploring the human condition. This book reflects on the past decade of Matt Copsonâs artistic practice, encompassing his video works, installations, sculptures, drawings, performances, and laser animations, while serving as the first monograph of his multifaceted career.
