On Thursday 23 March, we invite you to the second performance by Art Goss as part of the exhibition Out of Office (on view till 10 April 2023). WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY is an in-progress textile work that Art Goss creates over the course of the exhibition.

In the performance Art Goss finds herself torn between imagining her artist CV as a projection of the future and her failure to deliver on her first task: the one at hand. Deeply invested and entangled in a speculative imagining of goals set and targets to be met, she attempts to finish a tapestry in the exhibition space, while being set back by a number of absurd disruptions that are typical of contemporary life as an artist. In a professional climate in which it is impossible to plan for the distant future, Art Goss seeks to challenge the CV as a tool that reproduces false notions of individual agency and equal representation when it comes to accessing or operating within the art market.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY is the second chapter of Art Goss’s extensive research into the CV. The first chapter, CURRICULUM VETO, took the form of an exhibition and performance. It considered the many forms of ‘wasted’ work – the activities often omitted from a standard CV – and told the stories behind work gaps, work boycotts, refusals to work and care work.

The first performance of WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY takes place during the opening of Out of Office on 10 February 2023.
