Matthew Day Jackson will be in conversation with Tom Morton, writer, independent curator and contributing editor for frieze, on the occasion of his exhibition, Still Life and the Reclining Nude. Through two new bodies of work, Jackson critiques conventional genres, their cultural placement and his own authorship.

Since graduating with an MFA from Rutgers University in 2001, following his BFA from the University of Washington in Seattle, Jackson has exhibited extensively and his current presentation, There Will Come Soft Rains, a portfolio of twelve etchings, is on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York NY.

Tom Morton is based in Rochester, England.
