Patrick Goddard Trip To Eclipse

1 Feb-23 Feb 2020

Matt’s Gallery
London SW11 7AN

Overview

Matt's Gallery presents Trip To Eclipse, a new audio installation exploring authenticity in late capitalism. The work centres around an audio piece which sees the artist narrating a tale of a man and his talking dog, Whoopsie, as they take a walk in a newly built imitation abandoned warehouse. Trip To Eclipse takes its title from a 1990s clothing label more popular in school playgrounds than in the actual rave culture that it so desperately gestured towards. For Goddard the Eclipse brand complicates notions of authenticity, crudely ripping off the tropes of a legitimate cultural movement.
