Sadie Benning became known in the 1990s for her videos in the form of personal diaries. She has recently been working on a series of abstract pieces created from pieces of wood coated with resin, painted, polished and assembled. Their ambiguous status, part painting, part sculpture, is emphasized by the addition of photographs that confer on them some supplementary meaning. In these images gleaned from the web, which might suggest violence, like the hockey player here with his bloodied face, or raise questions of gender, a constant preoccupation in her work, the artist both criticizes and hijacks to her own ends the codes of the social media.
