Traver Gallery is excited to announce a surprise exhibition, Luftschlösser, by Matt Szösz. The ten new works included in this show have developed out of Matt’s years of rigorous experimentation in alternative glass casting and glassblowing techniques.

Translated as “air palace,” luftschlösser is the German idiom for daydream- a lighter than air fantasy of imagination. These whimsical but luxuriant pieces are, in fact, air bubbles; imagined castles made real.

The Inflatables series is a body of work that Matt first began more than a decade ago. This series is an investigation of how innovating within a process can expand the materials’ available formal vocabulary. While growing more technically refined, these recent works direct airflow through linear forms, recursive labyrinths reminiscent of three-dimensional line drawings. With their subtle and mutable surfaces, these sculptures reward the attentive observation with new characteristics and perspectives.

Traver Gallery would like to thank Inform Interiors, located in Seattle, WA, for generously providing us with a selection of authentic luxury modern pieces. This exhibition has been carefully curated to showcase Szösz’s sculptures within a living concept space.
