From me to you?

What shapes and forms us and how do we share our thoughts on what we think should shape and form us?

How do we know what is right and wrong?

All my art work is, to a greater or lesser degree, about such questions.

How an object, such as a cross, can suggest meaning. How the colour, shape and form can give a different meaning to different people.

How toys we used as children are understood as weapons when we are older.

The things we do, the things we believe.

From me to you!

Maus Contemporary is a contemporary art gallery and space dedicated to supporting creativity with a focus on experimental as well as issue-driven work. Through representing emerging, established, and internationally recognized artists, the gallery is committed to bringing a global perspective to contemporary issues and practices across the Visual Arts. The program consists of exhibitions, printed publications, and media outreach.

A rigorous gallery exhibition program, focusing on ten to twelve week long exhibitions, has become a staple of curatorial excellence in the South of the US, and the gallery has received critical attention from the press, including Art Forum and Art in America. The exhibition Mark Flood: FACEBOOK FARM  was selected as one of three finalists for the AICA-USA Award for Excellence in Art Criticism and Curatorial Achievement in the category "Best show in a commercial space nationally outside of New York".
The gallery's mission is to offer a platform for experimentation in a culturally difficult environment through four to six gallery exhibitions a year in addition to curated projects and exhibitions abroad.

Maus Contemporary has released over a dozen publications so far, most recently monographs on gallery artists Leslie Smith III and Spanish artist Irene Grau, and is currently working on monographs of Catherine Tafur and Melissa Vandenberg.

In an effort to be more environmentally responsible, the gallery will no longer mail printed announcement cards. Please subscribe to our email list.
