[from the pressrelease]
Evoking Nick Mauss’ practice could take the shape of a fine uninterrupted line, like a gesture, a breath, extending endlessly over the course of the artist’s encounters. He makes wander the drawing, a medium used for recording ideas, over various supports and spaces. He traces it between events, artistic practices, personal histories that have fallen into oblivion. The artist looks for them in archives, links them in exhibition spaces, and creates a place where elective affinities between works and people are revealed. Slipping into an exhibition by Nick Mauss, one is struck by superimposed images, interlacing connections in a kind of evanescent simultaneity. It might be like seeing bodies moving about a space, on a stage, inspiring and looking at each other, getting tangled up, yet not merging.
