Daniel Motz - Untitled NR 24 - Mechanical Elements and Mixed Media on Panel - 70 x 96 Inches

Daniel MotzDaniel Motz emigrated to the U.S. from Arad, Romania in 1978 and went on to receive his MFA in Motion Picture and Television at UCLA in 1984. His work in film informs his approach to assemblages. He uses the matte finish to unify the ob-jects into one cohesive assemblage the way editors use film to unify thousands of individual pictures into a movie. Motz harvests parts an array of mechanical devices such as vacuums, typewriters, cameras, projectors, printers, reel to reel tape decks, etc. Motz avoids abstraction and representation with his realistic approach, allowing the pieces to remain identifiable.

Daniel Motz has collected the detritus left in the wake of our technological progress. These assemblages serve as an archeological record of where we’ve been and who we were shaped by the bits and pieces of machinery that sur-rounded our daily lives. Motz has taken that sense of history and turned it on its head by reconstructing them in such a way as to evoke the sense of future worlds and modernized cities. Most assemblages are finished with a matte black spray that unifies the culturally disparate and obsolete fossils into a singu-lar piece designed to hold the ruin of our mechanical past into beautiful reli-quaries.
