conceptual art

A collection of drawings done by Matt Volla, some of which he has assigned to various categories such as "sexual," "warring," "spitting" and "machines." Music exerts a strong influence on his work, according to Berin Golonu, the Associate Curator of Visual Art at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

6x5 is a collection of written and visual material that aspires to be a unified art object. All elements are intended to interact with all other elements but their collisions are not premeditated. Each issue has a loose theme that is sometimes determined before the work is collected, sometimes after. Some elements are entirely handcrafted. Some elements are fragments, stanzas plucked from larger poems or paintings taken out of a series. Each element stands alone, without title, caption, or authorial notation.
