Fort Works Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition by North Texas artist and curator, Joshua Goode. Goode’s first show at the gallery will feature a collection of created artifacts and remnants of an "ancient" past, while incorporating elements of performance art and an interactive installation.

"The Ruins Of Burg Worth" is a reimagined history of Fort Worth, one where the city sits upon an ancient fortress both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Eagle Mountain. By creating sarcophagi and various remains reminiscent of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., Goode creates a new and imagined world that is full of extinct animals, objects, and artifacts. He challenges what they have learned throughout history in his development of these fictitious civilizations. Through his own research of local culture and his experience in the archaeological field, Goode aims to expose "the malleability of our past, present and future" and the ease at which history can be distorted.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through April 29.
