The Matter at Hand is a regional show of interdisciplinary work exploring the formal and material aspects of objects and the weight of their lived experience.
The accessible materials that litter our lives can tell us about our attachments, our constructs, and our place. Carolyn Clayton, Shane Darwent, and Dylan Spaysky use similar materials in singular ways, making prescient work about our present time. The ordinary and often overlooked are ripe with potential, waiting to be seen, mined, and celebrated. Carolyn Clayton is the recent recipient of the prestigious Dedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship. Dylan Spaysky, based in Detroit, was a 2015 CUE Art Foundation exhibiting artist. Shane Darwent recently undertook an international media project, resulting in a solo exhibition in Michoacan, Mexico and film screening at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Please join us in celebrating these esteemed artists and their exciting work.
