SUMMARY:Surface Works PETE GOCHE
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY (1st FLOOR/STREET LEVEL) \nArtist Statement\nUsing site-adjusted installations as my primary mode of practice\, I deploy an integrated and focused approach to both theoretical and practical questions pertaining to the nature and impact of materiality specific to the re-occupation of post-industrial spaces. My works provoke a temporal-spatial encounter that reconciles the simultaneous and complex nature of cerebral and corporeal experience. Each inquiry utilizes a range of domains including art\, architecture and anthropology as a means of exploring not only what material cultivations can be\, but also what they\, in fact\, do. Based on a series of modulated experimental actions (material modalities)\, each installation is driven by the nascent possibility of a persistent desire to intercourse with existing material surrounds pursuant a philosophical position that leverages perceptual notions of chiaroscuro – the disposition of light and dark. By extension\, the conscious and unconscious\, the seen and the unseen\, focus and open awareness and the made and re-made are factors in the realm of understanding and producing space. It is a full-scale\, three-dimensional methodology that is followed by exploratory drawing and photography as a means to express its affects (immaterial harmonics). \nArtist Bio\nPeter P. Goché is a practicing artist\, architect and educator. Goché works with the nature of perception and spatial phenomenon in developing his material practice. His works provoke a temporal-spatial encounter that understand the simultaneous and complex nature of cerebral and corporeal experience. He is founder and executive curator of Black Contemporary\, a rural field station dedicated to the study of spatial phenomena and perception. His research on material practices has been published in a number of edited books and journals\, including Architecture as a Performing Art (Ashgate\, 2013) and Architecture and Culture (Routledge Taylor & Francis Group\, 2016). Goché has exhibited and lectured on his creative practice and scholarship at many conferences and cultural institutions throughout North America and Western Europe. He has lead multiple academic workshops including “CautionWet Floor: Slipping Into Deep” at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale (Venice\, Italy). As educator in the Department of Architecture and foundational design at Iowa State University\, Goché holds both B. Arch and M. Arch degrees in architectural studies from Iowa State University. He taught in the Department of Art at Drake University before joining the faculty at the Iowa State University. \nhttp://www.goche.com/
