A Change is Gonna Come
Prints, Sculptures and Site-Specific Installation
www.justinmata.com
A Change is Gonna Come, by New York-based artist Justin Mata, includes seven new works by the artist, including sculptures and prints, together with a temporary, site-specific installation.
The show focuses on formal qualities and modes of representation, and on how those aesthetic notions generate meaning. The artist uses the processes of deletion, manipulation, and deterioration as a metaphor for a nation that is mired in both a war and a de facto recession but is anticipating change.
Justin Mata was born in Woodland, California, and attended California College of the Arts, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2001. He recently received his Master s of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
