Kyle Alden Martens (b. Saskatchewan) is an artist who works through sculpture, installation, performance, and video based in Montreal. Martens constructs sculptural work that engages with ideas of how clothing is tailored to fit the body while repositioning queerness to disrupt symbolic and physical structures. They hold an MFA from Concordia University in Sculpture, a BFA from NSCAD University, and are represented by Patel Brown.
In his novel of the same name, science fiction author William Gibson once described pattern recognition as a “gift and a trap,” which is a generous way of saying we search for meaning even when it may or may not exist.
