About
Matthew Stuart is a typographer, editor and writer based in the UK. His practice and research interests deal with acts of reading and publishing, language and typography, scripts and transcripts, reconstruction and material remnants, and the voice and the written word. These ideas are channelled through Lazy Machine, an evolving (and revolving) research and pedagogical elective.
He edits and runs the journal and multifarious publishing platform Bricks from the Kiln and works on publishing, editorial and curatorial projects as a designer and researcher, frequently in collaboration with independent publishers, writers, artists, curators, galleries and institutions.
He has exhibited and delivered talks internationally at institutions including The Most Beautiful Swiss Books, MoMa PS1, Mahler & LeWitt Studios London, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Tenderbooks, Umlaut Gallery, Wysing Art Centre, Central Saint Martins, Outpost Gallery, Legion TV, Ox-Bow School of Art, London College of Communication, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Royal College of Art, and the International Biennial of Graphic Design in Brno.
