Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to present Neil Goldberg: VOTE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, an exhibition of video, photography, and performance. On most Fridays and Saturdays during the run of the show Goldberg will be doing all-day performances at the gallery. Members of The Creative Resistance will be present at the opening, on 10/25 from 6pm-8pm, to sign up volunteers to canvas for the midterms. At center stage in VOTE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS is Goldberg’s ongoing project Inhibited Bites. Pulling back the veil on the artist’s creative process, Inhibited Bites showcases a collection of index cards each bearing an aphorism or phrase in permanent marker, produced at an often-daily clip for about the past twenty years. A record of fleeting thought or concentrated realization, the cards range on themes thoroughly infused with Goldberg’s particular sense of unromantic pathos and humor: childhood and aging, art practice, urban life, friendship, sensory experience. The cards serve as a unifying thread for the collection of work on display, which spans a variety of media and several decades. As Goldberg notes, “Every piece of art in the show started as an index card.”
