Tegan Moore
Residuum

September 10 to October 15, 2022

Galerie Nicolas Robert is pleased to present Residuum, an in situ installation and small sculptures by Tegan Moore, in our Project Room. Through a sustained interest in materialities of relation between ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, Moore analyzes and expands mechanisms of insulation, filtration, and permeability. Fragile, slight, and grainy, her sculptures are made with materials recuperated from industrial waste streams, pollution samples, her own studio waste effects, and organic materials with inherent thermal and filtering abilities. Residuum reflects on the residual in relation to time, regenerating what remains after the main part has been taken, used, or separated. Residuum is an aftereffect, a fragment, a dreg, a by product; it is something leftover, leached, or latent.

Tegan Moore is a Toronto-born artist, currently based in Montréal. She works in sculpture and installation in her solo practice, and collaborates as part of The Synthetic Collective, a plastic pollution research group currently organizing the upcoming exhibition Le synthétique au coeur de l'humain at The Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris. Moore has recently exhibited at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, YYZ Artists’ Outlet, VIVO Media Arts, Museum London, and Zalucky Contemporary, and has participated in residencies at Tokyo Arts and Space (Japan), Mustarinda (Finland), and Aldea (Norway).
