Jared Goldberg is a practicing mixed-media artist working across painting, sculpture, sound art, and performative satire.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Lethbridge, where he studied under the mentorship of Vancouver-based artist Phillip McCrum and Prince Edward County artist Yvonne Lammerich. His thinking and practice were also deeply shaped by art historian Leslie Dawn, whose approach emphasized systems, context, and power rather than style alone.
Goldberg’s work is highly influenced by the spatial, narrative, and psychological strategies of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, particularly their use of sound, movement, and misdirection to collapse the boundary between observer, environment, and meaning.
His practice examines cultural appropriation, system dynamics, economics, and the emerging logic of the metaverse. Drawing from art history, media theory, and systems thinking, Goldberg uses humor, abstraction, and conceptual framing to interrogate how value, meaning, and power are constructed — and how they move.
Not for exclusivity.
For intent.
This work is sequential. It assumes context. It lands best when encountered deliberately.
Registration simply signals a willingness to engage with the work on its own terms.
The work behind this gate is not meant to be consumed in isolation.
Some of it is satirical.
Some of it is archival.
Some of it is deliberately unresolved.
Without context, it can be misread as decorative or ironic.
With context, it functions as intended: as inquiry.

After registration, you’ll be directed to Duchamped, the artist statement, where the conceptual framework lives. From there, the art becomes legible. This order is deliberate.
