Ben Buswell - No Measure — Iris Project Residency

April 22nd - April 30th 2023

Opening Reception: 5pm - 8pm on April 22nd

In collaboration with Keystone Art Space, Iris Project Residency is proud to present a solo exhibition of new work by the Portland artist Ben Buswell. Buswell's practice spans multiple mediums, from incised photographs to plastics and ceramics. Buswell's repetitive mark-marking, melting, and tearing highlight the temporality of the natural world. In No Measure, Buswell continues to use photographs as a sculptural medium. These sculptural photographs of water surfaces accentuate the ripples without reference to scale or a horizon. Buswell's tactile and process-based working method creates a shimmering abstract space for your mind to explore.

Iris Project Residency in Los Angeles, California, offers artists, curators, writers, and creative thinkers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines the space and time to push boundaries in their practice. We strongly believe that new directions and insights will emerge when creativity is freed from the pressure of production or material exchange. These benefits will extend beyond the creative's time at the residency. Iris Project Residency is a sponsored project of Venice Arts, a non-profit arts service organization, and a proud partner with Yucca Valley Material Lab and The Ford Family Foundation.
