Matthew McCaslin

Born 1957, lives and works in New York

Matthew McCaslin’s installations, sculptures and videos fuse the ephemerality of video and light with the prosaic physicality of household objects and building materials. McCaslin explores the experience of nature -- the world outside of walled and wired existence -- manipulated to maximize visual pleasure, but also to underscore our conflicted relationship with the natural environment, mediated as it is by technology. McCaslin has exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe in the last twenty years and is internationally acclaimed for his sculpture and installation work.
