Steenbock
Gallery to Open Nate Mathews Exhibit
“Ersatz” exhibition explores the influence
of architecture on
those who inhabit it.
“Ersatz
is a photographic exploration about how architecture influences those who
inhabit it,” says Mathews. “Architecture plays an important part in how people
interact, where and whether they interact, and how they feel about the activity
that happens in the space. People recognize when they do not like a space or if
it is lacking something and shown in this work is the attempts to rectify the
flaws in the design… This work examines artificial features that are
incorporated into publicly accessible spaces: commercial, corporate, and
institutional, constructed environments in an attempt to mitigate or lessen the
effect of structures that, while functional, are essentially cold flat
featureless boxes. This collection seeks to draw the viewer’s attention to the presence
of these ersatz elements in modern architectural spaces.”
