Vancouver artist Gareth Moore takes hold of the reins at the Wattis, presenting the ninth solo exhibition in the gallery's ongoing Passengers series. Moore strives to rethink society's relationship with its space as well as its leftovers — particularly discarded objects and clothing. In his Transformers (2003) project, Moore trekked through Vancouver, gradually replacing his outfit with ill-fitting, wet, and considerably filthy clothes he found on the way. And while the thought of such an act might give even the most recycling-friendly individual a case of the itchies, Moore's projects cross such boundaries if only to provide a more whole-hearted, unfaltering confrontation of class, consumerism, and sustainability.
