Matthew Cusick: Scenes Et Types. This summer exhibition at The Reading Room will feature Matthew Cusick’s collage work from his wave series comprised of map fragments as well as the sirens which use imagery derived from vintage travel postcards.

Cusick’s collage work has been written about in such diverse publications as The Surfers Journal and The Paris Review, indicating his range of references from diverse cultures and geographies. Cusick received a BFA from The Cooper Union and is currently pursuing graduate studies at SMU. His work has been shown internationally as well as in New York City at Andrew Kreps Gallery, Kent Fine Art, and most recently Pavel Zoubok Gallery where he has an exhibition this fall.

Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, June 16 from 7 to 9 pm. The Reading Room will be open that day from noon until 9 pm in conjunction with East Dallas Gallery Day. There will be an artist talk on Saturday, July 14 at 3 pm.
