		Matt Ducklo (USA) is a photographer who captures the elements of domestic bliss and American institutions. The artist’s subjects are front and center with a bleak emptiness, while the broadcasters emit a dull nature in their anticipated energetic presentation of events. Time Out New York critic Robert Mahoney writes, “The heavily made-up talking heads smile with a wax-museum stiffness, making it obvious that they've packaged themselves to death in their drive to succeed.” The artist states, “The pictures aren't set up and yet they are. It's the unstaged-staged. I use pictures that don't have immediate connections with one another, but have a formal straightforwardness or frontal stance that visually hold the picture together.” Ducklo earned his BA from the University of Tennessee and his MFA from Yale University, CT. He has been included in numerous exhibitions since 2000 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
