Introduction by Kay Ryan. Conversation with David Campany.
Electricities gathers photographs by Minneapolis-based multimedia artist David Goldes (born 1947) that depict constructions Goldes refers to as “performing still-lifes,” based on historical experiments with electricity.
Electrical phenomena including electrostatics, high-voltage arcing, Faraday’s first transformer, water conductivity, electrified graphite drawings and other inventions and experiments form the basis of these works. Goldes uses commonplace materials such as string, pins, wire, pencil lines and bright colored backgrounds. The photographs reveal how electricity jumps gaps, repels, attracts, arcs, destroys and often confounds our expectations.
"Faraday’s Transformer" 2012) is reproduced from 'David Goldes: Electricities.'

"Snake in the Garden #4" is reproduced from David Goldes: Electricities, the first major monograph on the Minneapolis-based multimedia artist. "You seem to be interested in things that can be demonstrated and recorded photographically, but you're also keen to bring the viewer up short, up against the limits of the medium," David Campany comments in a published interview with the artist. The success of much of the work "hinges on the certainties that are lost when three dimensions are translated into two. Solids into planes. Binocular eyesight into monocular depiction." continue to blog
