Matthew Fishel

Matthew Fishel was born in Washington, D.C., and earned his MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2010. He lives and works in Baltimore, MD in the Remington neighborhood. Matthew has exhibited nationally, recently in Seattle and Massachusetts. His first solo show was in 2011, at the Fine Arts Work Center. Originally interested in painting, Matthew has expanded his practice to include animation, video, installation, and digital imaging. Raised by a television journalist in a home that celebrated Star Trek as philosophical way stone, his work is devoted to critically relating what is imagined to what is material. Matthew is a frequent contributor to RedStarKGB, an ongoing collaboration of filmmakers in Baltimore. He has contributed to projects as actor, composer, writer and director. His own film, “A Short Film Regarding Possibilities”, was selected by the Maryland Film Festival in 2006.
