Joe Goode Included in "Wall Rockets"

Opening October 3rd and running through January 7th at The Flag Art Foundation in New York's Chelsea neighborhood is Wall Rockets: Contemporary Artists and Ed Ruscha . The show is based upon Ed Ruscha's 2000 painting Wall Rockets, a title which he explained refers to "powerful works of art that shoot off the wall." Curator Lisa Dennison, who was the director of the Guggenheim until last year when she took a position at Sotheby's, attempts to reflect Ruscha's statement through a collection of nearly 75 works from 64 different artists, ranging from painting to photography and sculpture. Included in this exhibition is the work of Ruscha's longtime friend Joe Goode. His piece Noise, etc., etc., etc. (Blackwelder), 2006 is a painted over photograph similar to Goode's work featured in DNJ Gallery's April, 2007 exhibition Ashes. Only such an undertaking as Wall Rockets could illuminate the influence and legacy of Ed Ruscha on the contemporary art world.

For Goode, Bad Studio Fire  by Aaron Collins

"Interestingly, despite the cataclysm of the fire and Goode's inventive riposte, his latest artistic gambit closely tracks earlier interests, Richter explored the decomposition of a single image; Goode put his whole life's work to the test. The new body of work is a testament to the consistency of his vision over the last several decades, during which Goode has explored various processes of subtraction and destruction as a key to achieving illusion."
