ISSUE presents the premiere of three audiovisual compositions by Matt Mottel (2010 AIR). These works bring Mottel’s distinct artistic sensibility into dialogue with formative figures in his life and in New York’s avant-garde, tracing a lineage that is both deeply personal and central to ISSUE’s history.
At ISSUE, Mottel creates an environment where photography is digitally altered and projected, backed by a soundscape performed by Mottel on 'electronically affected' piano, oscillators and samplers. In a sense, his music is a personal take on the sum of his influences.
