BENJAMIN PHELAN

Benjamin Phelan (b.1982) produces inverted monuments, fragile sculptures oriented toward a future of endless personal generation and consumption. Confusing vision with form, encouraged by digital and thermal tools, Phelan retraces mineral, vegetable, and optical cycles in the ubiquitous extrusion topology of semisolid functional air waste, Styrofoam. Phelan has recently shown in “Future Touch” at Hionas, Brooklyn, “Border Food” at Loyal, Malmo, and “The Parsippany Incident” at 247365, Brooklyn. Currently, he is participating in “Bathymetry” at Del Vaz Projects, Los Angeles, and “Ritual Magic” at Greenpoint Terminal, Brooklyn, where he lives and works.
