MATTHEW SWIEZYNSKI

Matthew Swiezynski (born Winchester, Massachusetts, 1974) currently resides in Oakland California. Co-founder of the Invisible Birds label (with Diane Granahan) and creator and active contributor to The Art of Memory blog, each of which is devoted to research in the fields of music, film, art, photography and literature, dealing specifically with beauty, abstraction and minimalism.

Mr. Swiezynski has been making films and videos since the mid 1990s. In the words of the film scholar Arthur de Eriomé, these works are an attempt at discovering, revealing, magnifiying and slowing down moments of beauty and the sublime not noticeable to the naked eye.

His films have been shown in the United States, Mexico, Korea, and Canada, as well as Stanford University, Yale University School of Art, Yerba Buena Center For the Arts, the San Francisco Cinematheque, and most recently distributed through the label Invisible Birds.

Matthew Swiezynski presented visuals alongside sounds of Grasslung and Pulse Emitter for a 23five sponsored event on August 8, 2009 at Artists' Television Access.
