Focusing on lost ideals and failed utopias, Matthew Day Jackson uses the resonance and symbolism of everyday objects to create dramatic visions of American culture. His extraordinarily fertile and prolific practice incorporates sculpture, painting (although not in a conventional form), photography, and video. Its undeniable visual impact is due to his stress on the apocalyptic aspects of social idealism and a dynamic clash between ideas and physicality.

Since his inclusion in New York's 2006 Whitney Biennial and in 'USA Today' at the Royal Academy in London, Jackson has exhibited widely in America, and most recently in a solo show at MIT. This is his first one-person exhibition in a European public gallery.

A catalogue, including texts by Alexander Dumbadze and John Hutchinson, accompanies this exhibition.
