POL MATTHÉ
Born in 1982 in
Antwerp, Belgium.
Lives and works in Antwerp.
Pol Matthé only makes truly original work; that is, work that evolves. It evolves while it exists, and, once presented, embodies the possibility to evolve again. An archive of components comprises his sourcing pool, for which research and experimentation produce the active ingredients.
Continuously working in physical and active situations, the process and the different traces activated by or resulting from his chosen position are meticulously recorded and archived, always retaining the potential to be elaborated upon anew.
Pol Matthé’s archive forms an integral part of his personal practice:
