Tegan Moore

Tegan Moore works in sculpture and installation to interrogate the built environment and its relationship with the body through granular, intuitive, and research-based investigations. Her practice embraces provisional and metabolic processes through a perpetual use of discarded material, complicating their time and value flows and the dominant systems they circulate within and through. Based in Tio’tià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal, Moore often finds materials while on long walks with her dog.

She has exhibited across Canada and internationally; recent exhibitions include Le synthétique au cœur de l’humain, Canadian Cultural Centre (Paris), Residuum at Galerie Nicolas Robert (Montreal), Plastic Heart: Surface All the Way Through at The Art Museum at the University of Toronto (Ontario), and Foam Fatigue at YYZ Artists’ Outlet (Toronto). She has participated in residency programs at LUMA (Arles, France), Tokyo Arts and Space (Japan), Mustarinda (Hyrynsalmi, Finland), and Aldea (Bergen, Norway). She holds a BFA from Emily Carr University (Vancouver) and an MFA from Western University (London, Ontario). Moore also works collaboratively with plastic pollution research group The Synthetic Collective, and co-organizes the project space Support.
