Benjamin Edwards, "Convergence," Sept. 7-Oct. 6, 2001, at Artemis Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. Sometimes a good artist's first show feels more like their second show -- the exhibition after a dazzling debut, wherein gains are consolidated, weaknesses dealt with and directions altered.
In Jasper Johns' famous words, Edwards depicts "things the mind already knows." We might add "things we know too well." His work confirms that both the strip-city sprawl endemic in L.A. and the mind-numbing nullity of architecture-as-advertising-as-architecture now blight the entire country.
Duchamp called this overlapping, episodic agglomeration "dismultiplication" or "elementary parallelism." The Futurists called it "a new dimensionality." Whatever it is, Edwards strikes a balance between moralizing and hysteria, the pared-down and the psyched-up, while channeling the spirits of Eadweard Muybridge, Al Held, Zaha Hadid, Matthew Ritchie and Peter Halley.

 village voice > art > Benjamin Edwards by Jerry Saltz
Sometimes a good artist's first show feels more like their second show—the exhibition after a dazzling debut, wherein gains are consolidated, weaknesses dealt with, and directions altered.
However, had Edwards stuck with the formula that got him here—if only for this exhibition—his debut wouldn't be so transitional.
In Jasper Johns's famous words, Edwards depicts "things the mind already knows." We might add "things we know too well." His work confirms that both the strip-city sprawl endemic in L.A. and the mind-numbing nullity of architecture-as-advertising-as-architecture now blight the entire country.

 MoCo Loco: Benjamin Edwards
Benjamin Edwards, like many other contemporary artists, plunders the industrialized world for its strip malls, gas stations and big box stores and processes them into symbols and icons that he then layers into complex landscapes, misleadingly futuristic.
But the future is now, and Edwards’ composites are taken from umpteen digital photos of present-day artifacts.
The pictures are superimposed, details are removed or re-ordered, and a template is computer-generated before Edwards uses all these elements to embark upon time-consuming acrylics.

Benjamin Edwards takes his everyday experiences as a consumer and turns them into complex conceptual paintings that redefine the urban landscape.
Using digital collage techniques, he cuts and pastes images of corporate identities, architectural designs, and public spaces to make studies of imaginary realms, which he then laboriously and magnificently paints on canvas.
Here, Edwards unveils four new large-scale paintings and several digital prints that express his utopian vision, while exploring a deconstructive language of logos, Internet sites, and personal snapshots.

This has been the case several times over the last 50 years, with examples coming from early American video artists such as Paik, Rosler, and Viola, as well as French New Wave filmmakers like Godard, Truffau, and Charbrol who wrote for Cashiers du Cinema.
Some of the best known models of artists elevating the discourse on their own medium come from the field of photography; Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and John Szarkowski spent a life time curating and writing in the struggle to gain professional acceptance for the medium before exhibition venues became widely available.
Today, New Media artists are the most fitting model of an artistic community eager to speak for themselves, largely because online technology enables proactive and institutionally unaffiliated publishing and curatorial opportunities.
