The facets of Brock 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 Be 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.
