Thérèse Mastroiacovo’s work is about art itself as an idea, artistic process itself as methodology. It is about the precarious relationship art has to its own definition, open, half open, or slightly open for reclassification at any given time. The varying degrees of openness create space in-between, a space that gives way to meanderings, processes, and procedures. Her work is situated here, in a space of potential created in the middle of existing structures. It is this—this large, large thing stated so, so plainly—that makes her work both familiar and unknowable.

Thérèse works out of her studio at the Darling Foundry, and is a very active member in the Montréal art community. She has a number of solo shows under her belt - locally, nationally, and internationally. She is p/t faculty at Concordia Fine Arts, teaching classes in Drawing and Computation Art. Thérèse has her MFA in Open Media from Concordia, and BFA with honours from York University in Visual Arts.
