Opening Reception: 6:00pm – 8:00pm, Friday January 5, 1996

Goldman creates a site-specific installation building on issues of home, space, self, and agoraphobia. Goldman returns home to the Bay area to construct an exact, to scale, collapsed replication of all of the walls of the house in which he grew up. Goldman explores agoraphobia not just as the fear of leaving the house, but, as the fear of leaving home in a larger sense, and of losing the self. “An intense investigation of the place that one is surrounded by can only lead to a greater understanding of [it]. And if this investigation involves some sort of constructive destruction, then so be it.”
