This is the first significant publication to explore the output of Matt Keegan, the New York-based artist known for his work across mediums, as well as independent publishing including the acclaimed editioned art journal North Drive Press. This monograph expands on a recent solo exhibition by the artist at Rogaland Kunstsenter; Stavanger, Norway, titled “Portable Document Format.” The show was organized as an idiosyncratic retrospective, with Keegan remaking sculptures dating from 2006 to 2015, initially fabricated in Sheetrock and steel, in cardboard. Like the exhibition, the publication serves both as a project and a reference for the artist’s work. Essays by Tom McDonough and John Miller theorize Keegan’s production, while interviews with Sara VanDerBeek and Anna Craycroft underscore the artist’s ongoing engagement with his peer group. Furthered by contributions from colleagues Uri Aran, Leslie Hewitt and James Richards, situated alongside full-color installation photos and reproductions of work from the past decade, Matt Keegan: OR provides a solid introduction and layered overview of the artist’s multifarious practice.
Matt Keegan interviews artists and commissions writing to reassess the 1990s as the moment when the Democratic Party abandoned its New Deal values and swung to the right In the wake of the Trump election, artist Matt Keegan (born 1976) began investigating the Democratic Party’s shifts over recent decades. In the late ’80s, members of the Democratic Leadership Council successfully moved the party’s platform to the right by including a pro-business, pro-military, interventionist agenda, and downplaying social infrastructure as a calculated break from its New Deal-era foundation. This shift led to Bill Clinton’s consecutive terms. 1996 captures this pivotal time in American politics and society through the experience of artists who completed their undergraduate studies in that year and voted for Clinton, and others who were born in 1996 and voted for the first time in 2016. Essays focus on cultural and ideological shifts from that time, such as the 1994 Crime Bill, 1996 Immigration Act, the Telecommunications Act, the start of Fox News and beyond.
This book covers American painter Matt Magee’s (born 1961) transition from New York City to Phoenix, Arizona, where he currently lives and works. Inspired by childhood expeditions through the American West, Magee’s works from this period continue his exploration of materiality, surface and sequence.
Thirty-Four Reverse Telescopes and Three Buttons catalogs the artist’s recent body of colored Plexiglas works, made between 2013 and 2016, introduced obliquely with a poem by Ben Estes. Painter Matt Connors (born 1973) is known for combining a modernist visual vocabulary of grids and tense, minimal compositions with influences from design, poetry and music. Connors’ recent series of works brings this sensibility into the play of media: paintings in acrylic on paper are mounted on colored matte board, framed behind colored Plexiglass, creating an effect of nested colored forms in space. Both objects and paintings, the deeply hued, mixed-media pieces have been reproduced in Thirty-Four Reverse Telescopes and Three Buttons in black and white as well as color, highlighting the works’ complex tonality in addition to their dynamic coloration.

I visited Lawrence Alaba Afere and his organization in Nigeria - a network of organic farmers and rural entrepreneurs. Learning from the great work he is doing and seeing the faces of people whose lives has been changed, I was inspired and moved. In 2007, when Lawrence graduated from University, he shocked his family with the news that he was not going to use his business management degree to land a high-paying job in the big city. Instead, he wanted to become a social entrepreneur working with agriculture in his hometown Akure, a low-income community in southwest Nigeria. Working with farmers and rural people was not Lawrence's initial plan when he gained admission to study business at the University in 2003. Like many of his classmates, he was excited about getting a job within the banking or oil and gas sector. This all changed, on a Friday back in November 2006 when he read a report in the local newspaper. A life-changing moment he will never forget. The study revealed some shocking statistics about unemployment in Nigeria and the lack of opportunities young graduates are facing when finishing school. More alarming were the predicted effects this would have on society, as the consequences of unemployment would mean that Nigeria would raise over 20 million highly skilled criminals. Lawrence instantly thought to himself that something simply had to change. Instead of waiting around for change to happen, he decided to lead the way for a better future. As his parents and siblings had hoped for Lawrence to stay in the big city and pursue a corporate job that could help provide for the family as well, the decision to return home and pursue his dream wasn't easy. When telling his family about his decision, they thought to themselves that he had been bewitched since after all, who would willingly choose a hard labor career such as farming over a high-paying office job?. Despite the pressure, Lawrence felt strongly about returning to his home town and told his parents: ""Mum and dad, please understand I need to do something different with my life and follow my own path". And that is exactly what Lawrence did. Today he is the founder of Springboard, an organization that combines organic farming with entrepreneurial training to create jobs and promote sustainable agriculture. Lawrence Alaba Afere was that change. By combining organic farming and entrepreneurial training, he found a way to help create jobs for young Nigerians and rural people who were migrating to the cities in search of jobs. Today, Lawrence is a farmer and continues to provide support for young Nigerians and rural people to start their own organic farms and village enterprises. The initiative led him to be named a Mandela Washington fellow in 2014, where he visited the US and spent a few weeks meeting President Barack Obama and a number of global business leaders. In 2016 he also became an Ashoka fellow. This story book was inspired by Lawrence and his network of organic farmers and rural entrepreneurs. The book will help throw more light on everyday change agents and inspire children to follow their dreams and make a change in their communities.
