UPCOMING

To open our LAST season at IDIO Gallery, we return to form and to our selves with a solo show of tactile sculptures by Benjamin Heller, on view from Thursday, September 14th to October 1st.

Surrounded by people, more disconnected than ever, our spirits hungry and wistful for nature, Benjamin Heller carves out a space in raw materials to and remind us of our elemental . Drawing from a diverse background and training in visual arts, , , and physical improvisation, his works are rooted in the movement of the body and the creation of intimate environments that can be entered, opening a space for discovery via the body, senses, and the imagination.

“We are blood, we are air, we are the Same,” reminds Heller. “We are more than eyes and brains.” Carving away at materials with the force and flux of his own body, Heller choreographs and massages his ideas into the or , first as lines, then veins and pathways, inviting the viewer into the new space he has created, to touch, behold and follow the movement in turn.

We are invited to linger in the space, allowed to explore another body without the trappings of ego, identity or sexuality, and extend our time between meeting, and understanding. By letting the objects us, we are to be, connected.
