Matt Irie, Fine Art Department, has many works represented in print and on display at exhibitions. As an MCC Instructor of Two-Dimensional Art, Matt demonstrates his creativity through many outlets. Matt and long-time collaborator, Dominick Talvacchio completed Lamppost at the MetroTech Center for the Public Art Fund in New York City.
It is featured in the July/August edition of Sculpture Magazine (available in the MCC Library). This same project is also featured in the Summer 2010 edition of American Airlines’ Celebrated Living Magazine. It is one of eight international outdoor cultural attractions named in the article. The Public Art Fund also released a catalogue for the Double Take exhibition representing Matt and the other artists exhibiting through September 10, 2010.
