This event has ended.

Anne Mourier’s second solo exhibition at the Invisible Dog Art Center, Elevation, invokes the forces of the feminine reemerging in today’s society. A pensive procession of pails of water leads from the entrance into the reaches of the gallery. Three monumental wooden altars display both utilitarian cleaning supplies and sculptural reliquaries of them. Floating overhead, the ethereal image of a figure in peaceful surrender is fragmented across three delicate silk panels. In a continued exploration of site-specific installations, Elevation relies primarily on the gallery’s natural light to transform the space into one of self-reflection as it conjures a conversation about the spiritual and symbolic implications of acts of cleaning.

Anne Mourier is a French-born, Brooklyn-based artist investigating the notion of home. Working in photography, sculpture, installation, and performance, her multimedia practice also explores the cleanliness of the family construct and the archetypal representation of women. Her delicate and poetic works tell and collect stories – may it be hers, yours, her mother’s, or the story of iconic religious figures - and is an invitation to both an introspective voyage and a social dialogue. Recently she was invited by the Brooklyn Central Library to make the second iteration of her performance Taking Care, a story of common history (Sept 21 and 23,) Anne Mourier invited the employees of the Brooklyn Library to bring white clothing for her to hand-wash with natural Marseille olive soap and lavender extracts, line-dry in the sun, iron, and fold for them to pick up at the Library.
