Brooke Benington is pleased to present An array of disruptions and codependencies, Yeni Mao’s first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom. The exhibition will be at Brooke Benington’s London, Fitzrovia gallery at 76 Cleveland Street, London W1T 6NB from 11 October to 18 November.
An array of disruptions and codependencies presents a fleet of sculptures that access social and transcendental states through the interplay of suggestive human, animal and industrial forms. Throughout the gallery, lustrous steel and leather armatures support organ-like artefacts made of bronze, ceramic, volcanic rock and mercury glass. These cyborgian assemblages are installed in the space as if technological fragments extruded from the architectural envelope. As we navigate the installation, encountering this network of objects, our own codependencies and reliance on technological and societal structures are challenged. The works in An array of disruptions and codependencies act as machines of desire, an interdependent network rendering the actual object of desire obsolete, preoccupied by the passage rather than the end goal.
