A mad scientist whose resin encapsulations of found objects speak to the ancient past and the near future.

Matthew Angelo Harrison works with cultural artifacts and manufacturing technologies to create hybrid sculptures that address labor, race, and cultural inheritance. Central to his practice is the idea of the “prototype.” Harrison’s works often include found objects, including traditional African sculptures, car parts, and auto industry ephemera encased in resin blocks. Frozen and entombed, these sculptures appear strangely haunted.

Harrison (b. 1989, Detroit, MI) is in many permanent collections, including Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; de Young Museum, San Francisco; Detroit Institute of Arts, MI; Galeries Lafayette Foundation, Paris; ICA Miami; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Denver Art Museum, CO; Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. He has enjoyed solo shows at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA; Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI; Atlanta Contemporary; and Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. His work has been included in recent group exhibitions at MUDAM, Luxembourg; Cantor Arts Center, Palo Alto, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, IL; Museion, Bolzano, Italy; University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor; Katonah Museum of Art, NY; Kunst Museum Winterthur, Switzerland; and Lafayette Anticipations, Paris, among others. He has been awarded grants and fellowships by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; United States Artists, and Kresge Arts. He completed his BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012. Harrison lives and works in Detroit. He is represented by Jessica Silverman, San Francisco and Galerie Eva Presenhuber.
