It would be  exponentially ostentatious of me to intellectualize my creativity 

Or to rationalize what inspires me 

Or to express all that my work is analytically 

Because I cultivate thought see 

That I materialize pseudo-physically  

Then I meta-consciously incorporate the appropriate performance quality 

That enables me to share those ideas kinetically with others 

To categorize myself and say I do this is or do that would be to minimize my ultimate impact 

Because I express and I entertain 

I portray and I frame
I write and I rhyme 
And I sing
And sometimes stage spectacles designed to simply engineer reaction

I speak mostly form a travelers voice 

With a seemingly uncharted course
Using spiral notebooks to observe and record
And to construct ideas to be published or performed 

I utilize the principles of space and time 

Words and lines
Body and mind
Experience and experimentation 

Narrative combined with visual representation 

My method is equal parts philosophy and pontification 

Powered by the intuitive application of enigMATTtic imagination.

 "The closest thing to a breakout star that the American performance sect has seen in decades..."
-The New York Journal

"Matt Marcum's Pollock: A Frequency Parable, winner of the festival's Artistic Innovation 

Award, perfectly embodies the exploration of art and performance that defines Fringe theater." 
KDHX St. Louis

" In a show where abstract art meets modern beauty, Marcum takes you on a journey that leaves you mesmerized and wondering what the heck you just watched...Modern Art at it's finest."

St. Louis Limelight Magazine

"It’s a mash up for postmodernists that still need a little structure to their serenades…. Whimsy and reality collide to create a construction that defies categorization...get familiar with one of the most original writers working locally."

- No Country For New Nashville
