April 2019 - Chuck Moffit: Subverting the imagined moment
Art At the CAVE welcomes Chuck Moffit to Vancouver, WA during a month long exhibit this April. A designer from Mount Baldy, California, Moffit’s works challenge conventional assumptions of gender, history and materials.
The exhibit kicks off with an opening reception, April 5th from 6-9pm. Then on April 10th at 4pm, we’re hosting an Open House as part of Design Week Portland. Moffit will conduct a demonstration followed by a talk and question/answer. There is no charge for attendance to the gallery or events.
About the Artist
Chuck Moffit tears down masculine forms and rebuilds them. He works in a light-filled Modernist studio hidden behind a boulder in the woods of Mount Baldy, California.
Inspired in equal parts by the rugged tactility of artist Richard Serra and the transgressive purposefulness of fashion designer Hussein Chalayan, Moffit’s designs challenge conventional assumptions of gender, history, and materials.
Moffit's practice keenly rides the contemporary design and sculpture divide. His work has been in exhibitions throughout Los Angeles including: Hammer Museum, Christopher Grimes Gallery, Blackman Cruz, Eric Buterbaugh Gallery, and the Torrance Museum of Art. He has collaborated on site-specific installations for High Desert Test Sites, organized by artist Andrea Zittel.
Moffit received his MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2000, and an Arts/Industry residency at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin. His work has been celebrated in such publications as Architectural Digest and T Magazine.
