voices in a cool wet darkness
A solo exhibition by Matthew Trueman

Dates: Friday, January 20 – Saturday, March 4, 2023
Reception: Friday, January 20, 7-9 PM. Remarks begin at 7:30.

voices in a cool wet darkness showcases artwork by artist Matthew Trueman, who draws on his background in engineering and visual art to approach ecological concerns from a more-than-human perspective. Using kinetic sculpture, video, sound, and more, the artist touches on environmental themes and alternative timescales that reveal hidden ideas found within the landscape.

Matthew Trueman is an artist based in London, Ontario. He works primarily in sculpture, site-responsive installation and video exploring Western culture’s relationship wit hteh landscape through technology. This focus on technology was inspired by his MFA from Western University. His recent series of site-responsive installations, Instruments for Landscapes: Black Rocks, was the recipient of the 2019 Environmental Award at Ocean Alliance in Gloucester, Massachusetts. In 2018, his Instruments for Landscapes: Pine Grove was created during a residency at I Park Foundation in Connecticut. Matthew has had previous exhibitions at DNA Artspace, McMaster Museum of Art, Thames Art Gallery, Westland Gallery, Museum London for Nuit Blanche and Hear Here London. His photographic works have been published in So Long South Street by Huron and Erie Press.
