The Pixel Has An Edge And It Is Double Sided

Matt Sheridan's work conflates oppositional meanings of digital -- electronic and handmade -- by using terms and conditions of abstract painting to transform and amplify spaces of video into instinctual bodily experiences, whether within architecture or across the picture plane. Sheridan is especially concerned with how restrained edges of ideas and unruly edges of materiality collide in contested zones between defined shapes and the limits of supports from canvases to building facades. Occasionally political but always visceral, Sheridan's work addresses contemporary power relations between physical reality and the click + drag mentality. This book explains the influences and motivations behind Sheridan's work in detail.
