LINDSAY BENEDICT
1 Março 2020 – 31 Março 2020
BIO:
LINDSAY BENEDICT cultivates “the immediate” for presentation. She presents us with fragments and gestures that examine and question social relations. In her work, affect and raw emotion are often deployed to disrupt and destabilize any simple reading of human attachments. Self-inquiry and self-presentation is central to her practice, throwing light on the cultural coding and constructedness of our identities. By using her body to work through issues of race, culture, religion and gender, Benedict sets out a unique set of DIY parameters to explore. Her work has been shown in the United States, Switzerland, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, and Croatia at such venues as Berkeley Art Museum, Pacific Film Archive, Danspace, Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Le Confort Moderne, Centrale Fies, Antonio Ratti Foundation, The Knockdown Center, Dixon Place, The Tank, Movement Research Spring Festival, Lovely DAYS Film Festival, PARMER, PS 122, Le Cyclop de Jean Tinguely, Sonnenstube, Chocolate Factory, Languedoc-Roussillon Cine?ma, Emergency Biennial, Detroit Museum of New Art (MONA), New Langton Arts, and she has works in the Art History & Classics library at the University of California, Berkeley. Benedict received a BA from Williams College, an MFA from the University of California, Berkeley and was a studio fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program.

PROJECT:
While digesting a break-up and gestating a new human, Lindsay Benedict has made marks on torn-out notebook pages.
This set of gestures recorded on paper explores the possibility of immediacy - a raw relation with the present - as a channel to access interiority and a tool for self-inquiry beyond social constructions.
Seeking to work with a fragile material that may be altered by touch, Lindsay used papers that are vulnerable to being wet.. Water, needed for life blood can never be held. After evaporation we remain with the invisible traces of its passage.
Due to the virus Covid-19, the physical exhibition, titled Carrying (you), has been visualize in live stream, accompany by an audio piece titled “9 months of slow drops” developed by the artist herself.

Artist note:
“Carrying (you)” is about the grief of heartbreak and a maternal transformation marking the departure from society. I find the rupture of love to be a possible site for revolution, because of its immediate/radical uncertainty.

Drops.
The drips of water, slow and accumulative, remind me of the domestic space. One that nests a relationship that slowly breaks with every tiny drop.
9 months, slow accumulation of death/life."
