Matt Browning's Douglas Fir Carvings at Kunstverein München

Matt Browning's exhibition "All Woodcarvings Remain Slow Motion Mobiles" at Kunstverein München, on view until May 31, 2026, presents sculptures carved entirely from single blocks of Douglas fir. Since 2013, Browning has employed a subtractive process akin to whittling, removing material to create chain-link structures that are both solid and permeable. The works, both freestanding and wall-mounted, explore a paradox of stillness and potential motion, with each element capable of pivoting but held in equilibrium. Douglas fir's grain and responsiveness to light and humidity actively shape the carving process and the final forms. The exhibition runs until May 31, 2026.
