Details:

Charles Matson Lume’s exhibition sparks joy, awe, and curiosity using materials like proofing paper, Mylar emergency sleeping bags, hologram tape, and spotlights. By presenting ordinary materials in a new light, the artist seeks to inspire an appreciation for life’s fleeting moments. The exhibition is dedicated to Gustaf Sobin (1935–2005), a poet and important mentor for the artist. Matson Lume is a visual artist whose art is engaged in the pas de deux of light and matter. He’s exhibited his work at numerous institutions, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin, Ireland), Babel Kunst (Trondheim, Norway), Kemijärvi Art Gallery (Kemijärvi, Finland), and Hunter College, (New York City). Matson Lume has received fellowships from the Bush Foundation, Jerome Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. He’s participated in artist residencies in Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and the United States. Matson Lume holds an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and lives in Saint Paul.
