#NeoglyphicMedia

[neoglyphicmedia]

Thanks to the Seattle Art Book Fair, who invited us to create this installation to highlight our recent PoMo Pulp series of art zines for their inaugural fair! From the installation description:

Po-Mo Pulp is a series of zines published by Neoglyphic Media, which will be featured through an exhibition of conceptually-related original work, intended to expand the context for the publications. The visionary nature of the artists involved grinds against the subversive voice of the underground and begs for further exploration along the line of where low-brow or pulp media crosses over into fine art.

The exhibition will feature publications paired with original art and multimedia work on display from artists:

Amanda Vähämäki (Finland) Lale Westvind (Philadelphia, PA) Drew Miller (Albuquerque, NM) Leomi Sadler (London, England, UK) Marc Bell (Vancouver, BC, Canada) Matt Lock (Clifton, NJ) Stefan Gruber (Seattle, WA)

Copies of these zines are available from the Neoglyphic Media webstore!

MATT LOCK /

I don’t belong here! Neoglyphic Media 20 pages November 2021

This book is currently available for pre-sale and all orders will be shipped upon release in November 2021. Soon available at collection croisée for France and Europe. For US, please visit the website of the editor Neoglyphic Media. _ An art exhibit leads to an otherworldly incorporation, no less alienating than the more familiar exploitation that preceded it.

“Matt Lock’s drawings are premonitory witnesses. They seem to surface from a highly radioactive future ravaged by the excesses of mass consumerism where humans have undergone mutations of the most heinous kind. Garbage and biological waste are strewn about, piling up in open-air dumps. The mutants are alienated and disfigured; their flesh is pierced by strange bionic implants that look like excrescences. In the space Lock creates, they look as if they are primed for a fight. However, there is more to Lock’s work than stained asphalt, war and desolation. His dystopian worlds are informed by science fiction from the 80s and 90s; they convey a primitive and visceral power emboldened by an anxiety-ridden vision of a doomed future. The force behind Lock’s art lies in a certain aesthetisation of the monstrous. His imagination is coloured by representations of the organic in all its forms, a predilection reminiscent of the body-machine hybrids found in the science-fiction novels of William S. Burroughs and J.G.Ballard. The use of coloured paper allows nostalgia to seep into these sinister landscapes. Though violence pervades his drawings, an effervescence somehow manages to subsist in the apocalyptic landscape portrayed.” Geoff Vallon – ÉLÉGIE EN BLEU
