M. Scott Johnson
b. 1968, Inkster, Michigan
M. Scott Johnson came of age in the sonic laboratory of Detroit techno—a site where Black futurity learned to inhabit circuitry, loop, and pulse. That machinic rhythm permeates his sculptural vocabulary, as syncopation and repetition are transposed into line, cut, and void. His sculptures embody an Afrosurrealist materialism: objects rooted in atavistic memory yet emerging like dream fragments in material form. read the featured catalog entry for Scott
