Description
Sadie Benning Shared Eye offers an in-depth look at the artist's exhibition, presented at the Renaissance Society and Kunsthalle Basel. The installation features forty mixed-media panels that defy easy categorization, combining collage, painting, photography, and sculpture. The exhibition nods to Benning's history with experimental video work, created throughout the 1990s using improvisation and found materials. This catalog documents the show in full color, featuring an interview between the artist and Julie Ault, essays by John Corbett and Christine Mehring, and an introduction by Solveig Øvstebø and Elena Filipovic. These texts provide a framework for understanding Benning's work, which pushes the limits of abstraction in response to our present political climate.
