Nick Mauss

The diverse artistic practice of Nick Mauss (born 1980 in New York, lives and works in New York and Berlin) encompasses drawing, sculpture and performance along with some curatorial projects that he initiated in the last years. Mauss' oeuvre is characterized by a perpetual state of indeterminacy, in a need of thinking about drawing and painting in an expansive sense. His work is a premeditated confusion where definitive shapes and forms are overlooked in favor of ambiguous semblances.

Invited to forge a dialogue with the unique context of the Art Deco building of the Serralves Villa in Porto, American artist Nick Mauss created works that reflect an encounter with the social and private choreographies of the formerly grand and domestic spaces of the Villa. The catalogue includes an essay by the American author and poet, Lucy Ives and an interview with Nick Mauss, conducted by João Ribas, the exhibition's curator.
