Artist Michael Goldberg show his work : Strong language Some violence Adult. EXHIBITION: 07 march — 29 March.Opening 6pm Thursday 6 March at Artspace.
Following are the media release I received.
Michael Goldberg is interested in the point of collapse between an event and its real time broadcast, at the point Baudrillard proposed as the moment at which the event itself is rendered undecidable and virtual, stripped of any historical dimension and removed from memory. Baudrillard suggests that this process, apart from mirroring the real, in fact begins to ‘contaminate’ reality and to model it, leading ultimately to the implosion of image and reality. In exploring frameworks for the vivid reinvigoration of memory and a socially engaged and politically charged re-examination of recent historical events, Goldberg addresses our desire for global mobility, both cultural and economic, in the light of our inability to achieve global tolerance. Goldberg’s Strong language Some violence Adult themes explores the links between major articulations of power and the more-or-less trivial elements of everyday life — those that have become mnemonic ciphers of our age of anxiety.
