Goldenberg’s Material can be found in the Thames and Hudson books "Installation art" and “New media in late 20th century art" . Most recently he initiated a movement in the form of a website called Post Autonomy. The site functions as a research instrument into the concept of Post Autonomy. Post Autonomy reflects the state of contemporary art. A meeting place and hub for discussion and exchange about ideas that extend the understanding of Post Autonomy. Post Autonomy stems from the idea that modern art, as a research or understanding of autonomy, has reached its limits in comprehending autonomy. In that respect art can be seen to have exited autonomy. What comes after Autonomy in art can be discussed by Post Autonomy. Using a practice-orientated analysis of cultural, social, and political forces the aim is to develop a new mental framework out of which art can be reinvented.
