Matan Golan
Matan Golan’s installations explore the relationship between body and matter. He gives voice to bent, fatigue, and discarded forms to resist the order of things and challenge the triumph of the vertical, let alone the erect. His sculptures, whether flaccid, curved or alert, demand that objects be seen not as tools, but as beings: tired, swollen, aroused. Golan embeds moving images within his sculptural compositions, granting them pulse and agency. These performative hybrids blur the line between body and thing.
Matan Golan has exhibited work at Petach Tikva Museum of Art; Israel Mseum; and Tel Aviv Artists Studios Gallery, all in Israel, among others.
