Any Day Now

September 6, 2007- September 29, 2007

Reception: September 6, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Matt Keegan

D'Amelio Terras

525 W 22nd St

D’Amelio Terras is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with artist Matt Keegan entitled Any Day Now. In the upcoming exhibition, Keegan will create an installation involving works from various mediums including: large scale text-based works inserted into the gallery walls, photo-collages resembling sculpture, photograms, and a series of prints (letterpress, Xerox, silkscreen).

The work of Matt Keegan questions the relationship of images and words to the experiential. Images that originate from personal snapshots that are often void of the figure’s identity and performative words like the pronouns You, Me, I, and We both mine such semantic notions as reference, meaning and content. The viewer activates the work and becomes the point of reference that gives variable interpretations that can be personal, professional, or political. The phrase “Any Day Now” repeated throughout various works in the exhibition acts as a sort of mantra announcing that the work is a continuous source connected to the real time and space outside of the artwork itself. In that respect, Keegan extends the notion of conceptual art as famously defined by Lawrence Weiner's Declaration of Intent, and embraces the idea of art and life being one and the same.

Keegan’s work has been widely exhibited at venues such as at White Columns, New York; Wallspace Gallery, New York in collaboration with Leslie Hewitt; Sculpture Center, New York; and Mandrake, Los Angeles. He also organizes exhibitions with his curatorial collaborative Public-Holiday Projects and is co-publisher of the annual publication North Drive Press.

Art Reviews of Any Day Now

New York Times September 7, 2007

Roberta Smith

"In their first shows with this gallery, Matt Keegan, from New York, and Jedediah Caesar, a newcomer who lives in Los Angeles, are separated by more than a continent. In “Any Day Now” Mr. Keegan goes for surgical precision from start to finish (the X-Acto knife is highly favored), while in “Three Views From Space” Mr. Caesar starts with randomness before finishing up with some slicing of his own. Both artists emphasize extreme detail...."
