Filtered through a practice of material salvage and recuperation, Tegan Moore’s sculpture and installation examines underlying complexities in the built environment. Through granular, intuitive, and research based investigations her work intricately centers peripheral matter. Projects are presented primarily through architectural interventions that highlight the ways built space is designed to support or deny certain ways of being.
Moore also has a collaborative practice as part of The Synthetic Collective, an interdisciplinary group of artists, writers, philosophers, and scientists who research plastics pollution in the Laurentian Great Lakes Region. Their work follows plastics through from production and consumption to disposal and disaggregation.
Recent exhibitions include Kannski, Reykjavik, Centre CLARK, Montreal, Galerie Nicolas Robert, Montreal, Canadian Cultural Centre, Paris, and The Art Museum at the University of Toronto. Her work has been featured in Canadian Art Magazine, CBC’s The National, Esse arts + opinions, and Boarder Crossings. She has made authored contributions to OnSite Review and The Science of the Total Environment. She has participated in residencies including at Est-Nord-Est, QC; Luma Atelier, France; Tokyo Arts and Space, Tokyo; Aldea, Norway; and Mustarinda, Finland. She is currently in residence at Fonderie Darling's Ateliers Montréalais program from 2026 - 2029.
Moore co-organized the project space Support, operating in London, Ontario (2017-2020) and Montreal (2021-2023) with Liza Eurich and Ruth Skinner.
Currently based in Tio’tià:ke / Mooniyang / Montréal.
