BIO:
Matt Quinn was born on the US Naval base in Groton, Connecticut, the “Submarine Capital of the World”. Growing up in a region known for its history of whaling, fishing, and military boat-building industries, he currently lives and works in Brooklyn, and is known to find refuge and fleeting moments of tranquility at the bottom of swimming pools.
Quinn also collaborates on multimedia installations/exhibitions in a duo known as the New Atlantis Collective.
