Riddle #26: Goudy Wildlife Club
June 18–July 23, 2024

Matthew Lusk is the director of the Goudy Wildlife Club of Newburgh. Founded in 1949 and dormant since the 1980s, the club has been resurrected, reanimated as an experimental arts & culture organization with one foot on the stage and the other headed out the door. The janitor's closet is a roving phenomena of mutualistic consent between the only paid employee of the club and various hosting venues of which Triple Candie is the first. Since the cleaning-person works after hours, as is the custom of cleaning-persons, their identity is the subject of much debate among the Wildlife Club members. The primary question, "Why does a Wildlife Club need a janitorial specialist?" is overshadowed by the evidence of their spare time activities as shown here and the questions that arise therefrom. "Has this person gone mad?" "What are they trying to communicate, and to whom?" "is this a call for help?" "Is this a dire warning?" All good questions with no clear answer.
