Matthew Szosz. Gold Standard

exhibition

19.09-27.11.2022
SIC! gallery BWA Wrocław, Poland

Curator: Mika Drozdowska

Recent years have been extremely difficult for us. We have witnessed the collapse of democracy and the regression of social progress, all in combination with a climate disaster that we are unable stop. What is more, the global pandemic has been the source of an ever-present sense of insecurity that never leaves us.

The exhibition by American artist Matthew Szösz will revolve around these feelings of anxiety and inevitability visualised in the form of a giant golden meteorite, which will be the centrepiece of the exhibition at the SIC! BWA Wrocław gallery. The idea for the object was inspired by 16 Psyche, which is an asteroid said to contain 10,000 trillion dollars worth of gold and other precious metals – enough to cripple modern economic systems and thus render itself valueless.Gold Standard, however, is intended to become more of a human experience than an art gallery display. It is supposed to encourage the audience to actively and fully participate in the exhibition. The object’s reflective surface will move and change as we move, fragmenting and rearranging our reality anew.
