Matts Leiderstam: Artforum's Critic's Picks

Yuki Higashino, Artforum, September 8, 2023
In this refined and subtle exhibition, Matts Leiderstam sets out with the stated aim of questioning Western art conventions from a queer perspective, focusing on the often invisible structures of grid and gaze. Beautifully crafted and fastidiously presented, the work consists of a group of numbered abstract paintings on poplar and oak panels, all titled Panel, 2017–23; a purpose-built cabinet stocked with small paintings (What Does the Grid Do? [Cabinet], 2022); and a series of prints and drawings, Archived, 2017–23.
