Collapsible content

Electricity is the energy that runs nearly everything. We are dependent on it for light, heat, and communications as well as powering the innumerable devices and machines that shape and support our lives. To investigate and build on our historical understanding into the nature of electricity, David Goldes constructs and photographs what he calls, “performing still lifes.” Electrical phenomena including electrostatics, high-voltage arcing, Faraday’s first transformer, water conductivity, electrified graphite drawings, and other inventions and experiments form the basis of the photographs in 'Electricities'.

David Goldes is a visual artist working primarily in photography, with forays into drawing, sculpture, and video. His work is included in collections at MOMA, Walker Art Center, Bibliothèque Nationale, Centre Pompidou, Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others. Goldes has received numerous fellowships, including those from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Educated in the sciences and arts, Goldes received an M.A. from Harvard University in Molecular Genetics and an M.F.A. from the Visual Studies Workshop. His work is represented by Yossi Milo Gallery, New York.
