Matthew Jensen “Local Expeditions”
Third Streaming
This event has ended.
Local Expeditions will bring together four years of walking and collection-based projects by the artist, Matthew Jensen. The solo exhibition, his first at Third Streaming, will feature photography, video and sculpture, with many of the works exploring landscapes throughout the five boroughs of New York City. The exhibition will feature a new series, 31 Winter Walks, which combines walking, collection and digital processes to create a visual journal using only sticks and thread. Cleaning A Glacial Pothole, a collaborative video work, is Jensen’s longest video to date. The video is both a document of a process and a portrait of Inwood forest, one of Manhattan’s most majestic landscapes.
