Artist, Educator, ResearcherBiography
Matt Browning is a PhD student in the University of British Columbia's Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice, and a visual artist whose work concerns time, latency, and the selective and hierarchical valuation of human activity. He’s interested in the ways normative and discursive values within art, which are already historically exclusionary on racial, gendered, and cultural grounds, are increasingly expressed in the economic value of artworks. Beyond the category art, Browning is relatedly interested in how formal abstractions like value and exchange catalyze expropriation and bar access to markets. He was included in the 2017 Whitney Biennial and has recently shown work in Vancouver at the VAG and Or Gallery. He holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia and a BFA in Fiber Arts from the University of Washington.University of British Columbia, 2024
