ABOUT BEKA GOEDDE

“I am building a house around myself. I am able to sense my movement in surrounding space. I contribute to the surrounding space my interior architecture, by transferring my sense of movement to the movement of physical material. The intimate space spreads outward systematically and geometrically, growing into structures and forms. It shoots off further than I can reach with my hands, hangs higher than where I can focus, dwells behind the reach of light.”

Brooklyn-based artist Beka Goedde studies movement as: 1) the natural decay of structural material, 2) a landscape of growth and continuation, 3) light and tactile perception, 4) patterns of thought, and 5) equilibrium.

Goedde received her B.A. from Columbia University, Barnard College [Sept 2000—May 2004] with a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience and Philosophy. Her thesis work focused on the sense of touch, specifically a non-dualist way of conceiving of the space of one’s body and the space surrounding oneself, on both a phenomenal and neurophysiological level.
