Gonzalo Benavente:
Born in Cusco-Perú, he completed his studies at the School of Fine Arts of Peru in Lima. Specializing in sculpture, his work focuses on integrating technology (3D sculptures and 2D designs), exploring new techniques to enrich his sculptural practice.
His art reflects a strong influence from Japanese art, particularly origami, using folded paper as the primary medium of expression. He was a member of the Gallinazo group, managed the Hogares de Memoria project, and founded Orilab, a laboratory dedicated to the study of folding and paper art.

In The Bardo: Existential Ecological Dreamscapes

Dylan Beck’s In The Bardo offers a profound exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature. Through captivating installations and enigmatic ritual objects, Beck delves into the complexities of control, interaction, and dependence on the non-human realm. Evoking the human psyche grappling with a stark question — are we nature’s conductors or participants? In The Bardo promises a formally rich exploration of our fragile coexistence.

Kelley Vernon, The Snag
July 5-August 31, 2024
I started painting The Snag because I was in a rut. Being a nontraditional student and graduating later in life, I was having trouble finding a new path. Like The Snag, I was feeling old, worn and irrelevant. I walk my dogs on some BLM land on a regular basis. I grew up here and have been visiting this place since High School. One day on my walk, I noticed The Snag, and paused to consider it. I started painting it. Some days I painted it sloppy and fast and other days I spent more time with it. The variables around The Snag changed regularly but The Snag stayed unchanged. I drew many parallels to The Snag and myself, my life and my family roots. The change of season and my perspective have helped me overcome some of the obstacles that I had been struggling with. The Snag is now like a friend, and I am learning to accept the slightly more weathered (experienced) version of myself.
