Michael Stevenson

Michael Stevenson’s installations draw on processes of historical research and reconstruction. Working with archival materials, models and spatial dispositifs, he examines how economic, technological and ideological systems take form and circulate. His work often focuses on sites of knowledge production, where ideas hover between education, belief and governance. By reconfiguring these structures in material terms, Stevenson makes visible the conditions through which value is defined and transmitted, approaching history not as a fixed narrative, but as an active field of interpretation and use.
