ABOUT THE LECTURE
Psychological Architecture
Golden’s lecture will focus on the psychological and metaphysical structures used to frame her work, specifically addressing the concept of Psychological Architecture. Using physical space as an allegory for psychological space, Golden’s disorienting installations use the personal as momentum but not as biography. Sometimes referring to layers of consciousness her environments often appear in conflict with each other, stratified both spatially and socially, and evoke the anxiety produced by a political climate rife with social and economic inequality. For this lecture Golden will consider the role of impossible space, the use of psychological, metaphysical and quantum structures, the role of the subliminal, and how an artist’s work can function as a convocation, exorcism, or psychic manifestation.
