ariel goldberg presents the estrangement principle with a new text that incorporates work conducted during their residency at n/a. this is the final live presentation of this material in this exhibition. doors open at 8 pm, with a formal presentation of slide photography that begins at 8:45 pm.
in our first residency, n/a hosts brooklyn-based artist ariel goldberg, who brings their research-intensive project to the east bay in the form of an ongoing slideshow in the gallery, readings, and a serialized text.
a durational inquiry into the estrangement that artists who are queer might feel, the project has grown to become a historical and literary research project that walks through readings of authors and theorists who are queer, trans, and lesbian. goldberg's materials include discussions with artists and writers, critical race theory, dissent within queer theory and feminism, AIDS activism in relation to art, new narrative writing, and the making of art movements.
in a return to the bay area, the estrangement principle provides a refutation and a refinement of goldberg's continued experimentation with language, performance, and ontology.
