Moe Piuze | Solo exhibition
Quand sortirons-nous danser ? (When will we go out dancing?)
Dates: September 24 to October 24, 2020
Human silhouettes whose lines are sometimes curved, sometimes brittle, Moe Piuze’s sculptures tell us a story. The artist digs into his daily life, past or present, different materials from which he creates his works. Pieces of wood from another era, old clothes, and photographs, these collected objects testify to his relationship with the territories he may have occupied or crossed. For this exhibition, he merges two spaces: the domestic and the intimate. These two prerogatives meet around a central theme, that of the “house-body”. The concept of the dwelling is treated here in a manner quite analogue to the body, since it literally constitute each part of his identity. Moe Piuze thus offers us a very personal imaginary world, the very definition of his identity.
Since 2018, Moe Piuze has been creating assemblages that are the keystone of his master’s project in visual arts at UQAM (Montreal). Originally from Rawdon, the artist is a self-taught architect and likes to define himself as a researcher-handyman. Over the years, he has presented his work in America and Europe, notably at L’Écart (Rouyn-Noranda), the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the University of Bogotá Art Museum (Colombia) and the Casablanca International Video Art Festival (Morocco).
