Bennett, Jennifer

Jennifer Bennett's sculptures embody confrontations with the stability of things, the various possibilities of communication and exchange through them, as well as our individual and collective relationships to them. Her small-format bronze objects from the series "Stands On All Sides" encapsulate a kind of mobile valence. In place of a static object with a clear, fixed setting, positioning and direction are constantly renegotiated in a perpetual communication process. Thus, the moment of encounter with the artwork is ongoing by virtue of the fact that there's always a new standpoint to be found.
