Benjamin Phelan
Posted by Fabio 18 May 2010
American artist Benjamin Phelan lives and works in Brooklyn. “I am working to invent a subconscious cybernetic production technology, manufacturing perceptual devices through systems of malleable forms. The industries surrounding cinematic special effects of and commercial prototypes connect my work to the campaign of modern design, the production of rarified aesthetic vernaculars.”

“My work is coloured by my own experience, and my family, themselves heavily intertwined in the coal mining tradition of North West England, and its eventual politically engineered demise, which I witnessed through my early adulthood. My Grandmother was a very strong influence on my life and art. Her tales of working in this underworld, even while still carrying my father in the womb, continue to fill me with a fascination.” Vicky Wright.
