Matthew Peers 330 Grays Inn Road | 1 Towcester Road 2026 Published by Final Hot Desert Softcover 132 pages 21 x 14.7 cm Price: £20 330 Grays Inn Road | 1 Towcester Road is a catalogue of Matthew Peers’ personal photographs of the artist’s sculptures in his studios between 2023 and 2025. Peers’ images capture the varied arrangements throughout the changing seasons, documenting light’s durational interaction with the artist’s practice. Subtle differences in light photographed minutes apart create a holographic lens while the larger set of images act as a time lapse, allowing a glimpse into the different aspects of time and experience embedded into the artist’s practice. @matprs1111 #matthewpeers @finalhotdesert #finalhotdesert

Join us this Friday from 12-5 for the release of Matthew Peers’ Wishing Wells / 2023-2025, published by The New Rare Editions. Matthew Peers Wishing Wells / 2023-2025 2026 Published by The New Rare Editions artist book in plastic case 21 x 14.8 x 5.5 cm Edition of 100 digitally printed book, full-colour pages, plastic case with title printed by handheld printer 1000 pages £50 Available to purchase online at thenewrare.com A 1,000-page artist book constructed from Matthew Peers’ iPhone image files documenting Wishing Wells in different locations and conditions. The first half reproduces these files as full-colour pages with dates printed opposite. The second half presents four groups of video stills derived from phone clips, introducing a minimal flip-book effect. Wishing Wells is organised as a publication, but also as a storage device for images, dates, and intervals. Its plastic case makes the work a functional and conceptual container. The book approaches the condition of a portable exhibition and sculpture: a work that poetically stores, classifies, and reassigns its own material. This is the first artist book issued by The New Rare Editions. @matprs1111 #matthewpeers @thenewrare

untitled, 2025 sand cast aluminium, shadows 109 x 31 x 6 cm

untitled, 2025 sand cast aluminium, aluminium and steel fixings, resin, found stone, shadows 30 x 28 x 7 cm Matthew Peers has produced a series of sand-cast aluminium sculptures. These casts are made from a maquette fashioned from recycled cardboard. This work was assembled from different component parts and is held together with bolts and twisted wire. These functional elements are carefully chosen to be part of the sculpture and are not hidden from view. A found rock rests on the top of the aluminium, a marker for both human and geological time. There is a dichotomy within these works as they are made from ephemeral materials (cardboard and scrap aluminium) and yet, as cast metal works, they have a stability and permanence. At the same time 'shadows' are listed amongst their material components - which of course are fleeting, shifting throughout the day. Peers considers such works to be transformative 'constellations' of materials and processes in time, taking further form and influence from the environments in which they are shown. He refers to them as 'slow sculpture' in that they appear simple but take time to make and time to contemplate. @robtufnellgallery
