We are pleased to announce Charlotte Moth‘s solo exhibition at carlier | gebauer. The British artist (born 1978), who lives and works in Paris, has studied at the Slade School of Art, University College London, and the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Her changing experiences at different places and her close examination of space and architecture are crucial aspects of her work. Recently she has exhibited at Gasworks, London (2011), the Halle für Kunst, Lüneburg (2010), Schaufenster project space at Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen at Dusseldorf (2009), Stedelijk Museum Bureau in Amsterdam (2008), the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2008), JET Space in Berlin (2007) as well as at Project Art Centre in Dublin (2007). For the exhibition at carlier | gebauer she has produced a new site-specific installation.

In her photographic series and slide installations Charlotte Moth looks at the phenomenology of architectural spaces. The interior and exterior views of these spaces seem both familiar as well as out-of-time. Mainly they appear as transitory spaces. Her images are far more than documentary shots: they create memories of spaces through photographic impressions that pick up on elements such as contrasts and outlines, geometry, light, rhythm, silence and movement. Furthermore, in her site specific installations Charlotte Moth creates what she calls a “sculptural dialogue“ between the work and the gallery space. The artist was influenced by Gaston Bachelards writing “Poetics of Space“ in which the philosopher highlights the inventive power of images. The partially movable structures of Moth‘s installations, wooden constructions and light installations emphasise this characteristic and question the institutional space.
