Please join M+B and Matthew Porter this Saturday, April 13 from 5 - 7 pm for a book signing of his recently released monograph The Heights, published by Aperture. The signing will take place in the gallery's new project space, where we are presenting a selection of new works from Matthew Porter's celebrated flying car series, the first time this series has been shown together in an exhibition. The Heights presents a portfolio of twenty-five images of vintage cars, captured in midair as they careen over city streets and highway intersections. Each photograph is a freeze-frame–a hypothetical film still from a pulp-fiction chase scene. The photographs, known popularly as the “flying car” series, are a hybrid of hyperreality and studied, topographic description, part bittersweet nostalgia and part ironic reinvention of a classic American trope. Rachel Kushner contributes an original piece of writing that riffs on the aesthetic and aspirational nature of the American car.
