O! How We Play (June/July 2017, Theatre Gallery, Center for the Arts, Jackson, WY “O! How We Play” is a collection of poetic experiments that emphasize the reader’s role in the creative process of making meaning. The poem at the heart of each piece in the exhibit has no clear beginning or end. Each piece in the exhibit challenges familiar reading conventions like left-to-right, top-to-bottom, and front-to-back. In the interplay between stanzas without a defined order and presentations of those stanzas without a conventional system for reading, it is up to each reader/viewer/listener to assemble the text to make the final poem. |

FoundSpace 2015/2016/2017, Jackson Hole Land Trust, Jackson, WY FoundSpace explores the crossroads of art and land, and asks the community to participate in the artmaking process. The large-scale interactive installations created on protected properties link local artists and the community to found objects and conserved public land. Through FoundSpace, participants recover found objects and work together to create temporary interactive installations in a public open space. In 2017, Matt partnered with Jenny Dowd on a FoundSpace project titled, "Love Notes to the Things I've Lost." |
