3 Jun 2015 – 16 Aug 2015

Toronto-based performance and video artist Bridget Moser
employs strategies associated with experimental theatre,
performance art, modern dance, and prop comedy. Moser
writes and acts out fragmented texts, combining language with
everyday materials, which are used as props, and audio
excerpts pulled from popular culture. These incongruous
elements destabilize her props’ typical purpose and allow
Moser to alternate between states of criticality and humour.
There is an inherent struggle in Moser’s work as she attempts to
reach an accord between herself and “things,” whether objects
or ideas. The resulting artworks are affective, entertaining and
wildly unpredictable.
