Speaker Series: Mathew Sawyer

Mathew Sawyer is a UK-based artist and musician. He has shown internationally in exhibitions such as The Distance Between You and Me at the Lisson, Documentary Creations at the Kunstmuseum, Luzern, Switzerland, Protest & Survive at the Whitechapel and Passing Water at Art Metropole in Toronto. He is represented by the Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco and the Sonia Rosso Gallery, Turin, Italy. Sawyer plays music with The Ghosts and Television Personalities. In ArtForum, Matthew Higgs has written that Sawyer’s works “describe, for the most part, his tragicomic, typically unrequited, attempts to make contact with or have his presence acknowledged by others.” Sawyer’s work is included in Pardon Me, a group exhibition curated by Cate Rimmer for the Saideye Bronfman Centre in Montreal which will be shown at the Charles H. Scott Gallery in March and April.
