Gallery Diet presents Benny Merris, Stranger

Sep 12 - Oct 11, 2014

Merris’ sensibility is as organic and fluid as it is rigorous, as filled with wonder as it is informed by a sense of scientific reason, and it consistently navigates between such positions, seeing them not as oppositional, but naturally and intimately connected. The exhibition is a continuation of Merris’ performative photographs begun in 2012 while on residence at the Banff Centre. This is Merris’ first exhibition in Miami, the show will be accompanied by a large scale outdoor wall painting.

This will be Merris’ first solo exhibition at Gallery Diet. Other solo exhibitions include Jeff Bailey Gallery, NY; Kunsthal, Rotterdam; ltd, Los Angeles; Cokkie Snoei, Rotterdam; Societé, Berlin; and The Project Room, Glasgow. Merris received a BA from the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 2002 and an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, Scotland in 2007. Merris lives and works in Brooklyn.
