Matt Siber: Idol Structures Matt Siber

"Idol Structures"," an exhibition of recent photographs and sculptures by Chicago-based artistMatt Siber, probes the systems of corporate and mass-media communication that permeate the urban landscape. Rather than focusing on the message itself, Siber emphasizes the physical infrastructure that delivers visual messaging, thereby revealing a component meant to stay invisible and subservient to image, text, and graphics. By aestheticizing the conceptually mute elements of this system in meticulous photographs and finely crafted sculptures, Siber interrogates the power of the intended message, undermining its ability to persuade and influence. "Idol Structures "features essays by Gregory J. Harris, Assistant Curator at the DePaul Art Museum, and David Raskin, "Mohn Family Professor of Contemporary Art History."
