More info on my show now opening on the 30th not the 29th as previously planned:
Elevator Gallery presents
Causality
Ben Woodeson
Private view: 18.30 – 21.30 on Friday 30th September 2011
Elevator Gallery’s forthcoming solo exhibition presents Ben Woodeson’s
deliberately dangerous sculptures, including works from the Health & Safety Violation series and the new Causality series.
Woodeson’s sculptures are brutally performative; they inhabit a particular
moment of action and subsequent reaction. Their physical activity instigates an intense and visceral relationship with the viewer and the galleryarchitecture. Ripples of consequence are sent throughout the sculptures and audience alike. Woodeson’s skilful manipulation of materials in space challenges the viewer to respond to a unique environment of cause and effect.
The works spin, roll, wobble, fall, flick, collapse, shatter and even ignite…
but when? The control systems are automatic, random and frequently self-destructive. Some works are calm, stable and self-contained whilst others confront the viewer with overtly catastrophic outcomes. The nature of the sculptures means that the exhibition will continuously evolve and no two visits will be the same.
Ben Woodeson’s recent exhibitions include: Experimental Station, CA2M
Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid, Textures of Time, Frederic Parker
