Exhibition at aceartinc., Wrestling With Static.

aceartinc. is pleased to announce Wrestling with Static, a solo exhibition by Caroline Mousseau.

On Friday, March 8 from 6-9PM, we welcome you to join our opening celebration. 

Exhibition run: March 8 – April 19, 2024

With new abstractions on paper and canvas, Caroline Mousseau embodies an aesthetic slowness, a state of being introduced by contemporary writer Lutz Koepnick, which is not a direct reversal of speed but an openness to the co-presence of tempos and simultaneous differences of time and space. With their immediate impact, monotonous routines and emergent detail, Wrestling with Static offers insular shapes searching to connect, to scuffle with their edges, to re-form, to take space and to offer it back as they jitter with zany colour. Hashed repetitions accumulate and slow to a crawl, dragging material across surfaces in layers to create slight differences in optical and material depth. These simple forms register quickly but are paired with the intimate draw of material to explore the latent value of getting close as textures shift, glimpses multiply, and double takes replace cursory looks. Reinforced by scale, composition and colour, Mousseau’s new works set up a bias for speed and distance, an expectation that delays the recognition of detail to point out how easy it is to rely on assumptions alone. Wrestling with Static, then, asks us to engage sincerely with form, and ultimately, with a practice of slow, flexible looking where effort is shared and binaries are carefully dismantled.
