Giving an Alternative Perspective
Goshka Macuga’s sculpture is influenced by the status check of space missions which takes place before a rocket launch. Post-covid, it feels like the end of an era, but also the start on a new one.

GO NO GO symbolises the dual relationship we have with each other, the planet or even nearby countries. It depicts the dilemmas we face, embodying fantasy and reality, aspirations and failure. This project has been extended onto a digital platform to create a space for public engagement, collaboration and activation (gonogo.space).

The Artist's Style
Goshka takes an interdisciplinary approach to her work by incorporating archival and historical materials and images, multiple types of media, as well as the works of other artists to create new narratives and perceptions of art. She is known to carry out extensive research to create her artworks and as such can be seen as a visual historian of sorts.
