Pace welcomes Matthew Day Jackson

We are pleased to announce our global representation of #matthewdayjackson, whose decades long explorations of varied histories, technological phenomena, and modes of mythmaking have evolved into a multi-faceted practice spanning sculpture, painting, photography, #performance, and installation. We will have our debut presentation with Jackson in the inaugural edition of Frieze Seoul in September, where we will showcase work by artists across our contemporary program. Jackson's first solo exhibition with Pace will take place in #newyork in 2023. We will represent Jackson in collaboration with GRIMM Gallery.

Through his expansive practice, Jackson explores a wide range of subjects—historical, futuristic, scientific, spiritual, and fantastical. He uses recognizable American images and iconography associated with LIFE Magazine, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, the American West, the atomic bomb, and more to examine the ways that an inexorable pursuit of a false utopia throughout American history has shaped notions of national identity in the US. Jackson brings his own experience and embodiment of the past and present to the fore of his practice. At the core of his work is a deep interest in finding similarities within binaries and dichotomies, particularly the simultaneity of beauty and horror.
