Inhibited Bites Neil Goldberg
About This Show
Inhibited Bites is a revelatory, darkly-comedic performance built from a collection of more than 1,000 index cards containing artist Neil Goldberg’s thoughts, observations, and reflections. For example: “Watching people enter a party, you can really see what they were like as kids.” The cards, projected behind the artist, offer striking visual context for a performance that is alternately trenchant, hysterical, bleak, and exuberant. At Dixon Place, Goldberg will use the cards as the basis for both an improvised monologue as well as an expansive interview with willing audience members and special guests, including choreographer Miguel Gutierrez, artist Suzanne Bocanegra, and comedian Jacqueline Novak.
about the artist
Neil Goldberg makes visual art and performance work that focuses on embodiment, sensing, mortality and the everyday. He’s shown his work at MoMA, The New Museum, The Museum of the City of New York, The Kitchen, and elsewhere. The NY Times described his work as “tender, moving and sad but also deeply funny,” and Time Out New York wrote, “Goldberg has produced some of the most quietly intense and affecting art of his generation.”
