But in the past couple days things about Matt are working their way back in. I was contacted by a student from MICA, who had been shown Matt's work at school and found out that he had passed away. I realized that this part of his life(undergraduate studies in Baltimore) probably didn't know what had happened.
Since then I was contacted by a professor at MICA, who was also really upset to hear the news, and relayed what a great artist and person he was.
In other news, the dates and initial planning of Matt's memorial show have been decided. December 19, 2009
Hunter Studios, 450 W 41st Street, New York
The front room of the huge gallery space will be a memorial show of Matt's paintings at Hunter. The album release of his music will also be complete and available at the show.
It's gonna be great.
