an American artist and educator living in Daytona Beach, Florida USA. Working in photography, video, and installation, I use the camera to document real and constructed versions of the everyday on the street and in the studio to explore truth and representation, cultural identity, and the collective memory of the eastern world. Drawing on similar themes, I also collaborate with my wife Unum Babar on site-specific projects related to the city, nature, and urban life. In the classroom, I establish hybrid modes of learning that help students form independent connections between theory and practice, the self and the Other, past and present identities, and digital and analog processes. Stimulating these various entry points of my practice are questions that relate to the ideological discord between eastern and western culture, the friction between local and global narratives, and the ironies and contradictions that manifest in everyday life. <img width="1600" height="2152" width_o="1600" height_o="2152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64b60e0e14e6442af010d21ce565b268674b258697ced4e166a1188265d72ec5/20200820_Unum-Laaleh-Matt-Roof_143-1.jpg" data-mid="91798685" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64b60e0e14e6442af010d21ce565b268674b258697ced4e166a1188265d72ec5/20200820_Unum-Laaleh-Matt-Roof_143-1.jpg" /> Matt Kushan, Unum Babar, and&nbsp;Laaléh Rose Kushan Selected Projects <img width="1600" height="1081" width_o="1600" height_o="1081" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ebe9cec902aed0324361b1a5e3c4af03c10ad050939e40ff00cab86763420ab1/001-_-20191020_Crossovers---Al-Hamra_95.jpg" data-mid="92887468" border="0" alt="Songs of the East" data-caption="Songs of the East" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ebe9cec902aed0324361b1a5e3c4af03c10ad050939e40ff00cab86763420ab1/001-_-20191020_Crossovers---Al-Hamra_95.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1092" width_o="1600" height_o="1092" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f38fcd8a080bcc2d04f39db0946c1168628bc052cd7207c55838f9e638ae9c4/031-_-20170728_BTL-Documentation_021.jpg" data-mid="92887522" border="0" alt="Reading Between the Lines" data-caption="Reading Between the Lines" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f38fcd8a080bcc2d04f39db0946c1168628bc052cd7207c55838f9e638ae9c4/031-_-20170728_BTL-Documentation_021.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1052" width_o="1600" height_o="1052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08147c1f6c7359f8e74e158395afbe8d8dab121921c008a5450552e6444f8bfe/011-_-DSC_0102.jpg" data-mid="92887529" border="0" alt="New Land" data-caption="New Land" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08147c1f6c7359f8e74e158395afbe8d8dab121921c008a5450552e6444f8bfe/011-_-DSC_0102.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1069" width_o="1600" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87cc1e275d86a2253d487eda852bd0c5d05bff03f76eac09c5876bdb00410518/047-_-MAK-0018.jpg" data-mid="92887480" border="0" alt="Rooted" data-caption="Rooted" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87cc1e275d86a2253d487eda852bd0c5d05bff03f76eac09c5876bdb00410518/047-_-MAK-0018.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1066" width_o="1600" height_o="1066" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04e77aa66b0bab1a02793b4ef6f91208e521cf877c7652c0c8c30c8c1819df7c/062-_-20170115_dutch-at-home_075.jpg" data-mid="92887654" border="0" alt="Camouflage" data-caption="Camouflage" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04e77aa66b0bab1a02793b4ef6f91208e521cf877c7652c0c8c30c8c1819df7c/062-_-20170115_dutch-at-home_075.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a4e8e673cc3d5755280de1a3d738edbf2636e805058b9af2632b3a6e1150fe9/vlcsnap-2020-12-23-00h55m31s253.jpg" data-mid="93281061" border="0" alt="Early Work" data-caption="Early Work" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a4e8e673cc3d5755280de1a3d738edbf2636e805058b9af2632b3a6e1150fe9/vlcsnap-2020-12-23-00h55m31s253.jpg" /> Teaching Practice Drawing from my studio practice, I have developed and taught a range of courses involving photography in the expanded field, video, installation, creative coding, and design to a range of individuals working in art, design, and technology. The theoretical backbone of these courses are driven by an interest in issues surrounding post-internet culture, colonialism and orientalism, race, gender, and identity, language and aesthetics, and private and public life. <img width="1600" height="2399" width_o="1600" height_o="2399"

collaborative practice, consultancy and digital shop focusing on the production of images, films and objects inspired by popular culture and the everyday.

Living in Lahore, Pakistan and Cleveland, Ohio, I have contributed to several international grant-funded public art projects, directed various commercial digital and print fashion campaigns, established a critical lens-based art curriculum in Pakistan, and also I have exhibited artwork in Europe, South Asia, and the USA. I hold a BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Currently, I am working on&nbsp;BorderLine with Unum Babar,&nbsp;an independent creative collaborative practice, consultancy and digital shop focusing on the production of images, films and objects inspired by popular culture and the everyday.&nbsp; https://mattkushan.com/This-Landscape-is-Always-Changing Tue, 14 Sep 2021 17:17:08 +0000 Matt Kushan https://mattkushan.com/This-Landscape-is-Always-Changing This Landscape is Always Changing A collaborative project with Unum Babar. Inspired by the constant attempts at the subjugation of nature by man and urbanity, in an effort to bring order to seeming chaos, this project focuses on photographs and short films, accompanied by original musical scores, centered around performative and sculptural interventions. Through these visuals, we want to explore the fraught relationships between the built and the grown, the organic and the mass-produced, and the existing stillness with an intervening performance. https://mattkushan.com/A-Week Sun, 30 Oct 2022 03:03:16 +0000 Matt Kushan https://mattkushan.com/A-Week A Week <img width="5392" height="3954" width_o="5392" height_o="3954" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a53067eacf004f33e5ec4a3773ecd10961be9b3ffdb50ae5f88eccdb9f103c3/20220216_Untitled_706-2.jpg" data-mid="157366051" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8a53067eacf004f33e5ec4a3773ecd10961be9b3ffdb50ae5f88eccdb9f103c3/20220216_Untitled_706-2.jpg" /> <img width="5405" height="3963" width_o="5405" height_o="3963" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b32d029a365ebaaca5807366cbb216e3c064008fd6f41338a1331a3e4792b456/20220216_Untitled_707-2.jpg" data-mid="157366053" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b32d029a365ebaaca5807366cbb216e3c064008fd6f41338a1331a3e4792b456/20220216_Untitled_707-2.jpg" /> <img width="5403" height="3962" width_o="5403" height_o="3962" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c33d379cc9b6e496daaf59e4dda8d542e48208aad7478b96e56c9918392fb563/20220216_Untitled_712-2.jpg" data-mid="157366054" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c33d379cc9b6e496daaf59e4dda8d542e48208aad7478b96e56c9918392fb563/20220216_Untitled_712-2.jpg" /> <img width="5406" height="3964" width_o="5406" height_o="3964" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36aeff217a41a81bc45a76252538a407d405eb20abb46cd62ac63a4601bf9b4a/20220216_Untitled_717-2.jpg" data-mid="157366055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36aeff217a41a81bc45a76252538a407d405eb20abb46cd62ac63a4601bf9b4a/20220216_Untitled_717-2.jpg" /> Home life is full of minute details that rarely remain with us. Carefully cut fruit, a salad in the making, or a birthday party ending. Lost in the everyday and nearly forgotten, these ordinary moments slowly fade. In this series, I have taken remnants of the past to preserve an idea of family that feels both endlessly recurring and somehow always changing in the circular motion of a week. <img width="5392"

my neighborhood in Lahore, camera and tripod in hand, a local elder man stopped me to ask what I was doing. I explained I was an artist, documenting the streets to later edit into a video. With great concern, he asked “Will your video be positive or negative?” This encounter posed to me a valid as well as difficult question: do outsiders like myself accurately depict societies abroad or do we choose to perpetuate the narrative we are most accustomed to?A city is defined by the people who live, work and breathe in it, who build and shape it. Through all the concrete and gravel, hot black tar roads, hardened steel support beams, red brick and mortar, Monstera and Eucalyptus rooted in between dusty lawns and towering walls, repeated patterns about time and place emerge. Patterns like these are the heartbeat of any city, but the stories most often told fail to acknowledge them. This work investigates the line between fact and fiction within representation by looking at the camera as an artifice. Through collecting items of Pakistani popular culture, local newspaper clippings, Urdu novels, etc. and then photographing them in the studio, I create scenes that are reminiscent of an anthropological study. In juxtaposing these still-lifes with photographic documentations of the street, connections between the real and the constructed are challenged. Displaying the image against both natural and man-made materials melds their surfaces into one, and these new objects become a memorial to a fading past. https://mattkushan.com/New-Land Tue, 22 Dec 2020 11:47:52 +0000 Matt Kushan https://mattkushan.com/New-Land New Land New Land (excerpt), Future of History: A Group Exhibition of Art and Technology, Boston Cyberarts, Boston, MA In 1903, W.E.B. DuBois, an African-American sociologist, coined the phrase “double consciousness” in his book The Souls of Black Folk, a term widely used to describe black subjectivity. He wrote, “It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.” The East has traditionally been subjected to similar social oppression: looking at itself through the lens of the foreigner, considering itself the ‘Other’. The camera, a device that claims to record objectively, has played a large part in this through the actions of its operators. Many have traveled to places such as the Middle East and/or South Asia with pre-conceived notions, and brought back their versions of these communities through images of war, corrupt governments, and terrorist organizations. This work aims to challenge the mainstream western narrative by providing a view devoid of political opinion. As an American citizen living in Lahore, Pakistan for three years, I have documented daily life on the streets of my neighborhood. Through recording houses, signs, powerlines, people, the everyday, carrying around my camera and tripod has opened up the space for intercultural conversations that have allowed me to develop a relationship with this ‘Other’ land. <img width="1600" height="900" width_o="1600" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2581b824175787ad6b32d76240a0f9e6c5f897fc80013d530ca7b5c6ea64b69b/012-_-Screen-1.00_00_50_09.Still007.jpg" data-mid="92855477" border="0" alt="Channel 1 &ndash; 00:00:50;09" data-caption="Channel 1 – 00:00:50;09" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2581b824175787ad6b32d76240a0f9e6c5f897fc80013d530ca7b5c6ea64b69b/012-_-Screen-1.00_00_50_09.Still007.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="900" width_o="1600" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98e0250d3180b187b2a0cb97c8cf9e786ebafb05388627a5b77d3daca49890ed/014-_-Screen-1.00_09_59_12.Still005.jpg" data-mid="92855479" border="0" alt="Channel 1 &ndash; 00:09:59;12" data-caption="Channel 1 – 00:09:59;12" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98e0250d3180b187b2a0cb97c8cf9e786ebafb05388627a5b77d3daca49890ed/014-_-Screen-1.00_09_59_12.Still005.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="900" width_o="1600" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f347b0cf27f7885085fc25cfed253e53d487ba6c2e4873cea6ec18b61756ed91/016-_-Screen-3.00_00_37_26.Still003.jpg" data-mid="92855480" border="0" alt="Channel 3 &ndash; 00:00:37;26" data-caption="Channel 3 – 00:00:37;26" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f347b0cf27f7885085fc25cfed253e53d487ba6c2e4873cea6ec18b61756ed91/016-_-Screen-3.00_00_37_26.Still003.jpg" /> Selected Stills <img width="1600" height="221" width_o="1600" height_o="221" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/096bb7e805953c6f25621a2ffdf82f82dc27a901e68d4e869b366f03e2907edb/018-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_04_49_25.Still012.jpg" data-mid="92855810" border="0" alt="All Channels &ndash; 00:04:49;25" data-caption="All Channels – 00:04:49;25" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/096bb7e805953c6f25621a2ffdf82f82dc27a901e68d4e869b366f03e2907edb/018-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_04_49_25.Still012.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="221" width_o="1600" height_o="221" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce4400544c7dcad22d6d73eb52665a0a40dc6f71a6b1bee07d248181ffe6e4bf/020-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_05_33_05.Still013.jpg" data-mid="92856618" border="0" alt="All Channels &ndash; 00:05:33;05" data-caption="All Channels – 00:05:33;05" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce4400544c7dcad22d6d73eb52665a0a40dc6f71a6b1bee07d248181ffe6e4bf/020-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_05_33_05.Still013.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="220" width_o="1600" height_o="220" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db8f8a824711e705a8c096d15e15e563bc83baeb63693ab86ea28f430cdef657/022-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_06_50_20.Still019.jpg" data-mid="92855812" border="0" alt="All Channels &ndash; 00:06:50;20" data-caption="All Channels – 00:06:50;20" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db8f8a824711e705a8c096d15e15e563bc83baeb63693ab86ea28f430cdef657/022-_-All-Screens---White-Background.00_06_50_20.Still019.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="900" width_o="1600" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ddaaf90a478652cd6c528b88f7a05cb039e78698f571d452e5656b64b09b2fc8/017-_-Screen-4.00_01_52_25.Still009.jpg" data-mid="92855481" border="0" alt="Channel 4 &ndash; 00:01:52;25" data-caption="Channel 4 – 00:01:52;25" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ddaaf90a478652cd6c528b88f7a05cb039e78698f571d452e5656b64b09b2fc8/017-_-Screen-4.00_01_52_25.Still009.jpg" /> https://mattkushan.com/Reading-Between-the-Lines Tue, 22 Dec 2020 17:25:28 +0000 Matt Kushan https://mattkushan.com/Reading-Between-the-Lines Reading Between the Lines <img width="1600" height="1092" width_o="1600" height_o="1092" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea1625efaf6be0750d4efb2af3a30f124c4aff10df635972a26df6c7ae17c371/031-_-20170728_BTL-Documentation_021.jpg" data-mid="92876668" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea1625efaf6be0750d4efb2af3a30f124c4aff10df635972a26df6c7ae17c371/031-_-20170728_BTL-Documentation_021.jpg" /> Reading Between the Lines, Many Studios, Glasgow, Scotland This collaborative work, made during a one-month residency in Glasgow with Unum Babar, is a reading of the city as outsiders and tells a particular story of nostalgia, consumerism, and perceptions of social and physical order through architecture, color, material and photography. It draws upon our personal intercultural relationship and the differences with which we, as a Pakistani woman and an American man, understand the world. Our observations of the nuances of the city were made following a repetitive, daily commute to the studio situated in the historic Barras Market. By abstracting repeated color schemes and recreating existing surfaces, we have directed attention to the uniformity and noiselessness of the city of Glasgow in direct contrast to the chaos of Lahore. This intersection is explored within three major themes: nature, objects and architecture as well as through traditional and new media, and highlights the thin line between nostalgia and reality. <img

(Paivasta) is a socially engaged public art project made in collaboration with Unum Babar and Glasgow-based creative studio Pidgin Perfect that combines the unique and also diverse practice of each artist, sparking an intercultural and international conversation about public green spaces in the subcontinent. The work consists of 8 permanent artworks for Bagh-e- Jinnah (Lawrence Gardens) in Lahore, Pakistan. The artworks reference, and have a resemblance to, the heritage of Bagh-e-Jinnah and the places and events that take place across the gardens. The central artwork is a significant marble ground piece located near the Quaid-e-Azam Library which takes the form of an Islamic star, directing people on seven routes across the park towards undiscovered spaces and stunning examples of Flora. The destination of each of the seven routes is marked by a marble seat, crafted and sited to encourage introspection, solitude, contemplation. The project was curated and commissioned by Lahore Biennale Foundation (LBF) and British Council Pakistan with generous support from Parks &amp; Horticulture Authority (PHA) Lahore. <img width="1600" height="1067" width_o="1600" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2842a877dc475af93469d261d07950c6db280799dc2b15e208de81ed021fb084/054-_-20160321_lawrence-gardens_0074.jpg" data-mid="92878759" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2842a877dc475af93469d261d07950c6db280799dc2b15e208de81ed021fb084/054-_-20160321_lawrence-gardens_0074.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="2400" width_o="1600" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44b402541b36ebf78a707666b4a66137bcef77f3387b502c8d07cf51a4b94bd2/051-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0058.jpg" data-mid="92878756" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44b402541b36ebf78a707666b4a66137bcef77f3387b502c8d07cf51a4b94bd2/051-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0058.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="2400" width_o="1600" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e61a25c943793d90b8c6f96fd5147e86043cd0026cd0490e2dd6937557b4ba6/055-_-20160321_lawrence-gardens_0094.jpg" data-mid="92878760" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e61a25c943793d90b8c6f96fd5147e86043cd0026cd0490e2dd6937557b4ba6/055-_-20160321_lawrence-gardens_0094.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1067" width_o="1600" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6653430c501ee315f44dd44a355424bef9a4fcd39279c3d62a1fefbcc4797cce/053-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0265.jpg" data-mid="92878758" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6653430c501ee315f44dd44a355424bef9a4fcd39279c3d62a1fefbcc4797cce/053-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0265.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="2400" width_o="1600" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4dce8f27d9b2c83e8bc7bab4e2bab8dc1557c9c21880eeed18cee51ae5af8fc7/052-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0096.jpg" data-mid="92878757" border="0" data-scale="37.5" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4dce8f27d9b2c83e8bc7bab4e2bab8dc1557c9c21880eeed18cee51ae5af8fc7/052-_-20160319_lawrence-gardens_0096.jpg" /> Photos of park during the planning phase of Rooted&nbsp;

From the Diplomatic Enclave in Islamabad to the local streets of Lahore, all domestic spaces employ certain methods of security against the outside public. These security measures, however, do not escape local cultural aesthetics. Characterized through the use of excessive colors and patterns, and a general chaos of materials, electric wires, greenery, lazy hacks and advertisement posters, they act as camouflage and a distraction from the grim reality of imminent danger Camouflage is a collaborative project featuring Unum Babar, for an exhibition marking the inauguration of the New Residence of the Dutch Ambassador in Islamabad. Coming from two very different backgrounds, we took the idea of this hyper-secure residence as a chance to look at the domestic defense mechanisms of homes in Pakistan from two opposing perspectives; as a Lahori who celebrates the chaos of the streets, the organic growth of the city and its street culture, and the plants used as a decorative device, and as an American who is tempted to bring some order to this chaos in a futuristic vision of a more sterile Lahori landscape. <img width="1600" height="1067" width_o="1600" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79f672361f10dcff403509442dc35578c28058e7ad951ed9fbcd51ac909a9cdf/066-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0035.jpg" data-mid="92883168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79f672361f10dcff403509442dc35578c28058e7ad951ed9fbcd51ac909a9cdf/066-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0035.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1067" width_o="1600" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/887d6ac902a21eed780c75ea9a411e00b5c4bf060e1afe9eb2ce94b633184750/065-_-20161007_gates-barriers_0084.jpg" data-mid="92883167" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/887d6ac902a21eed780c75ea9a411e00b5c4bf060e1afe9eb2ce94b633184750/065-_-20161007_gates-barriers_0084.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1055" width_o="1600" height_o="1055" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b3752f4353b20552e493e0e4409efa1c89868a0783c22cc163bdc51710f731c/068-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0074.jpg" data-mid="92883170" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b3752f4353b20552e493e0e4409efa1c89868a0783c22cc163bdc51710f731c/068-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0074.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1049" width_o="1600" height_o="1049" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4da6c34354dfe3c1937b28c7a77bef2752f803e525393dfe76b0f3533156d560/067-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0040.jpg" data-mid="92883169" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4da6c34354dfe3c1937b28c7a77bef2752f803e525393dfe76b0f3533156d560/067-_-20161216_gates-and-barriers_0040.jpg" /> Before starting work; walking the streets, documenting gates, thinking about home and security.
