Rochelle Goldberg
Rochelle Goldberg stages sculptural topographies composed of living, ephemeral, and synthetic materials, such as crude oil and chia seeds, in combination with ceramic and steel. Transformation is enacted through her continuously evolving terrains, and further represented through the hybrid impressions of synthetic snakeskin and fingerprints. Molting and shape shifting, Goldberg's work challenges the fixity of the art object. For her exhibition at SculptureCenter, Goldberg hand rendered human-scaled sculptures in ceramic and steel that are evocative of hybrid fish forms and other motifs, enacting a psychological narrative around our post-industrial age.
Goldberg has had solo exhibitions at numerous galleries including Miguel Abreu Gallery in New York; GAMeC in Bergamo, Italy; Parisian Laundry in Montreal, Canada; SculptureCenter in Long Island City, New York; Federico Vavassori in Milan, Italy; The Apartment Gallery in Vancouver, Canada; Quark Prize in Geneva, Switzerland; David Peterson Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ring the Clock at Dust in Ivry-Sur-Seine, France; and Cleopatra's in Brooklyn, New York. She has also participated in group shows internationally, including Art Basel in Switzerland, Okayama Art Summit in Japan, and shows at The Whitney Museum in New York; Fondation d'entreprise Ricard in Paris, France; Barro in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Kunstverein Dortmund in Germany; The Artists Institute in New …
