Bridget Moser is a Toronto-based artist who works predominantly in performance and video. Her work is suspended between prop comedy, experimental theatre, performance art, absurd literature, existential anxiety, and intuitive dance.  Every Room is a Waiting Room features new videos and an opening night live performance that bring together an assortment of incongruous objects, gestures, texts, and sounds. By intentionally misusing her selected objects, Moser mines them for their comic and transformative potential, and subtly interrogates the systems that attempt to shape our tastes and dictate how we engage with the world of consumer goods.

Moser’s artist talk, presented by Dunlop Art Gallery in partnership with New Dance Horizons, will feature live excerpts from performances of Hold Please (2014), A Leaf That Tastes Like a Pencil (2015) and Season of the Witch (2016).
