Stokes' practice is embedded in an anthropological inquiry of the broader subcultural movements that bring people together. His methodologies often lie in the development of collaborative and live elements, which arise through investigations into a range of factional and disparate communities connected to particular environments. By way of this process, he utilizes collaboration as a space for negotiation and appreciation of individual and group identities. His interest in collectivity, and creating connections between a location and an activity, is often anchored by music and its ability to shape both lifestyles and beliefs. For those who love music, it remains as a fixed point of reference, a source of reconciliation, exhilaration, and hope which never fails. Via his archaeological digs into the ephemera of underground cultures such as the Northern Soul scene and rave phenomenon, he has, like a cultural alchemist, created significant new works that transform our understanding in new ways. XX Matt Stokes lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne. His practice is marked by anthropological enquiry and an interest in events or informal movements that bind people together. Music subcultures have been central to the development of his recent projects, which have focused on their ability to shape lifestyle, beliefs, and create collectivity.
