Matthew Logsdon (b. 1982, Ohio) is a Brooklyn-based contemporary artist working at the intersection of textiles, painting, and sculpture. His work is distinguished by an innovative approach to materials, weaving and knotting rope through grids of folded paper squares and dense encaustic forms. Through repetition and sustained manual labor, he creates meditative works that explore the epistemological dimensions of the body—how knowledge is formed through physical action, touch, and endurance rather than through language alone.

He is the founder of Field of Play, a nonprofit contemporary art space in Gowanus dedicated to emerging and experimental practices. Logsdon received his MFA in Studio Art from Hunter College (2015) and his BA in Art from The Ohio State University (2005).

His work has been exhibited at Below Grand, Hesse Flatow, Tappeto Volante Projects, The Hole, and SPRING/BREAK Art Show, New York. It has been featured in Hyperallergic, Art Spiel, and is included in corporate collections. From 2008 to 2012, he developed The Bus Project, an ongoing public art initiative in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to his studio practice, he has curated numerous exhibitions at Field of Play and at SPRING/BREAK Art Show (2023). In 2027 he will have a solo exhibition at Underdonk and attend Interlude Artist Residency, both in New York State.
