Brock Enright
Perry Rubenstein Gallery
527 W 23rd StPerry Rubenstein Gallery is pleased to present a multi-media exhibition showcasing film, sculpture and performance based works by artist Brock Enright. The facets of Enright's innovative installations intermingle to defy any certain aesthetic order as values and assumptions shift in relation to image and information. Further motivated by his enthrallment with crisis and disorder, Enright's anti-aesthetic is created through elaborate and alarming fabrications of terror.
For the exhibition at 527 West 23 Street, Brock Enright will present GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, a multi-media installation. Centered around a feature length film, Enright's installation is driven by a series of events that took place in the Mendocino Red Wood forest of Northern California. Shot over the course of five weeks, the film elements comprising GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, explore the mythology of the Black Goat. The myth describes a notable stage act called Box, Goat, Girl: in which a young girl enters a small box, and in an illusory performance, is transformed into Black Angora goat.

In conjunction with GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER BEEN THE SAME, Perry Rubenstein Gallery 526 West 24 Street will concurrently showcase a recent video piece, Wellwater filmed in 2006. Here, tension and intensity steer an unsettling depiction of the blurred line between pleasure and pain. The open-ended narrative of Wellwater confuses curiosity and anxiety, and ultimately results in conjecture as to the nature of the accounts.
Brock Enright graduated in 2001 with an MFA from Columbia University. He has been exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe including at the P.S.1 Greater New York show, The Moore Space, Mass MOCA and Vilma Gold in London. He also directed a version of Debbie Does Dallas for the stage in the 2001 International Fringe Festival. This is Enright's first show with Perry Rubenstein Gallery.
Art Reviews of Good Times Will Never Be The Same (ii)
| New York Times March 30, 2007 | Roberta Smith | "...Mr. Enright’s art has more energy and ideas than clarity or purposefulness. It is also trailed by debts — to Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelly, “The Blair Witch Project” and Stanley Kubrick for starters — that need to be sorted through. In the process he might examine his faith in mess for mess’s sake. But the show is alive with strange and intriguing objects and images that one would like to get a better bead on...." |
