MATT SAUNDERS
Century Rolls
5 – 19 May 2013
Harris Lieberman is delighted to announce the opening of 34 Orchard Street, the gallery’s new project space located on the Lower East Side. The screening of Matt Saunder’s Century Rolls will serve as the space’s inaugural exhibition.
Century Rolls, a 10 minute 45 second long animated film, was first exhibited at Tate Liverpool in 2012. Composed of numerous ink on Mylar drawings, Century Rolls displays Saunders’s uncanny ability to produce images that are at once mesmeric and wavering. Flickering between shadow and light, color and smoke, Saunders’s amalgamation of drawing, photography and film displays a keen understanding of material presence.
Matt Saunders was born in 1975 in Tacoma, Washington. He received his BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard College, MA and graduated from Yale University School of Art with a MFA in Painting/Printmaking. Saunders lives and works between Berlin and Cambridge, MA. He has recently had solo shows at Tate Liverpool, the Carpenter Center in Cambridge, MA and The Renaissance Society in Chicago. His work also appeared in such group exhibitions as The Anxiety of Photography at the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado in 2011. In March of this year, Matt Saunders was awarded the Jean-François Prat Prize for notable contemporary artists. His works are in the permanent collections of the MoMA, New York; The Whitney Museum, New York; The Guggenheim Museum, New York; SFMoMA, San Francisco and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
