Upcoming exhibition: 'Matt Copson – Coming of Age. Age of Coming. Of Coming Age.' from 15 February 25 onwards! ✨
“I’m interested in using the gallery as a theatrical space and attempting to create a living character that evokes a response.” – Matt Copson
From a void, a baby emerges, guided by an anonymous hand. This baby is the protagonist of Matt Copson’s (b. 1992, UK) Coming of Age trilogy, a theatrical installation in which an infant embodies insatiable desire: he wants to grow, leave a legacy, be adored, entertain, and be entertained. He seeks self-betterment, yet remains unable to escape his inevitable self-destruction.
'Coming of Age. Age of Coming. Of Coming Age' marks Matt Copson’s first institutional solo exhibition. In his hybrid practice—drawing from pop culture, myths, ancient philosophy, and medieval folklore—Copson explores existential questions and contemporary subjectivity, which he sees as increasingly defined by constant flux, spectacle, and the economies of attention.
