Mike Benevenia: Gravity And Other Fistfights
GoggleWorks 201 Washington Street, Reading, PA, United StatesSculpture is a scuffle with gravity. Something like the dull hollow thud of the apple hitting Isaac Newtonās head. The duality of fragility and resilience of the body is mirrored in Mike's work. Unfinished wood, chipped plaster, and rusted steel become the broken history we have inherited. Stainless steel, titanium, fiberglass, and foam suggest the failure of our contemporary attempts at mending our fractured social structures. Paralleling the body with objects, Mike sees the physicality of sculpture as a way to create moments of crisis, where the resolution following can develop solidarity and compassion through conversation and dialogue.
Gravity and Other Fistfights
GoggleWorks 201 Washington Street, Reading, PA, United StatesClassical Greek medicine taught that there are four stages of a disease: onset, advancement, crisis, and resolution. The Greek word for crisis is 'krisis,' meaning decision. The crisis stage of a disease indicates the point in the illness where either the patient recovers or dies. In a less dramatic way, I try to perpetually keep my artistic practice in this state of crisis, of always being on the cusp of failure or success.

Morgan Craig: “Victims of Hindsight: the Spectres of Capital”
GoggleWorks 201 Washington Street, Reading, PA, United StatesI believe that architectural structures acting as both repositories and as vehicles for memory profoundly influence culture and identity by providing a tangible framework through which facets of a society can be expressed. Consequently, I have been inspired to build a body of work dealing with how identity is influenced by the types of architectural edifices present in a given landscape.
