Matt Whitman is a New York-based artist working with moving image, photography, installation, writing and performance. His work has appeared at Microscope Gallery, New York; The Kitchen, New York; SF Cinematheque, San Francisco; The Front, New Orleans; The Lab, San Francisco; Unexposed Microcinema, Durham, NC; Anthology Film Archives, New York; La MaMa, New York; Ethan Cohen Gallery, New York; the Brooklyn Film Festival, New York; ‘8 fest’ Toronto, ON; among others. He has taught at Parsons School of Design since 2014.

With this series we ask that each presenting artist identify a non-profit they wish to bring attention to and support through this screening. Matt has selected National Bailout. National Bail Out is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration. We are people who have been impacted by cages — either by being in them ourselves or witnessing our families and loved ones be encaged. We are queer, trans, young, elder, and immigrant.

Please consider making a donation to support.

MONO NO AWARE OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES:
The OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES allows for 16mm film projection viewing with social and physical distance guidelines in place.
16mm film prints are projected, on loop, from dusk until dawn. Each artist receives an honorarium from MONO to support their practice. Each artist is asked to select a non-profit for a portion of the proceeds to benefit, to which MONO will make a donation in their name. And, YOU the audience are invited to enjoy the work, take part in the conversation and we ask that you consider making a donation as it directly supports the artist and the organization with which they share concern.
