Secret Menus is an exhibition presenting a recent body of work by Minneapolis based artist Matt McAuliffe. The show will feature new objects, paintings and photography. McAuliffe continues his work recontextualizing objects and events to bring out latent and new narratives and multiple readings. For Secret Menus McAuliffe presents a constellation of work that interrogates subversive social desires of an individual and their role in a society that attempts to normalize and regulate them.
McAuliffe has been featured in shows at Yale University’s Green Gallery, The Suburban in Chicago, Samson Projects in Boston,The Bindery Projects in Minneapolis and Art of This in Minneapolis. He has curated shows at Julius Caesar Gallery in Chicago and Bindery Projects. He most recently participated in the show “A Study In Midwest Appropriation” curated by Michelle Grabner that also will have a forthcoming book accompanying it to be released by Poor Farm Press with essays by Grabner and conversations with the participating artists.
