    September 30, 2011 BRIAN GOELTZENLEUCHTER 858-602-4884 [email protected] www.bgprojects.com BIO Born in Southern California in 1976, Brian Goeltzenleuchter was raised in a culture that placed great value on consumption, display, and performance. Goeltzenleuchter's artwork and design infuses interdisciplinary research into the creation of designed environments, scripted and improvised performances, olfactory art, and multimedia presentations. The locus of his practice is the Contraposto Home Décor Company, a socially engaged, interdisciplinary artwork that takes the form of a legitimate business. The company uses its equivocal status as a home decorations boutique and a temporal artwork to initiate a lively, ironic, interactive critique of cultural distribution in the marketplace. While remaining very visual, the project opens theoretical questions about the role of criticism, museums, academies, journals and web sites in the attribution of cultural, historical and economic value to "art" objects. Goeltzenleuchter is interested in antagonism as a generative tactic; his recent work attempts to pit the social benevolence of community- based practices against the trickery and spectacle of the aesthetic or designed environment. Through conducting events designed to destabilize – to function outside of the socially-prescribed behavior of either an artwork or a business – he attempts to test propositions without coercing prescribed outcomes.
