Charlotte Moth
Charlotte Moth was born in 1978 in Carshalton, United Kingdom. She has been living in Paris since 2007. The Serralves Foundation in Porto (2011), Centre d'Art contemporain de Genve (2012), Esker Foundation (2015), CA2M -Centro Arte Dos de Mayo, Spain (2019) organised solo exhibitions of her work. Tate Britain commissioned and exhibited her series of works Choreography of the Image in its Archive Room in 2015-2016 (cur. Penelope Curtis, Inga Fraser). Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein has hosted an important solo exhibition of her work in 2016 (cur. Christiane Meyer-Stoll), accompanied by a monographic publication: Travelogue (ed. Snoeck). The exhibition has toured to Parc Saint-Lger art center and the MIT List Visual Center (USA).Sculpture is an abiding concern for Charlotte Moth, but disconcertingly, it may be produced as a side effect of other motives, as though it cannot be aimed for directly. The persistence of sculpture is consistently tested against other conditions of display and other types of spaces: living spaces, working spaces (the studio) and also spaces of representation, study and commerce. As sculpture ? which is both a potential class of objects and a historical term for them that we now use uncertainly ? moves through these different spaces, it seems to have become lighter. This lightness is neither a cause for celebration ? as though in victory over ?sculpture?, mass and embodiment ? nor a reason for premature mourning. Lightness is perhaps more simply a condition to be felt and known.[Source: Ian Hunt, 'Four Backdrops' in Charlotte Moth, Travelogue, monographic publication, ed.
