Mouse is a new gallery in an old house in Detroit, MI. Founded in 2023, Mouse works to commission and exhibit new work from emerging artists, with a particular focus on practices that engage notions of intimacy and domesticity at small scales.
The space itself is both domestic and intimate, with a gallery staged in a the unusual setting of a Michigan basement.Proximity to the work — and to other viewers — challenges traditional art-object and onlooker relationship.
Cofounders Dot Jackson and Ardele Monk lead Mouse as practicing artists, forming the gallery partnership upon completion of their MFAs at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
