[ pica residency ]

Benjamin Forster was an artist in residence at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art from 6 July to 25 August 2010.

Drawings bundled in black plastic.



Art is a living process and artworks are simply the detritus of this process.

In conjunction with his research residency at SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia, Benjamin Forster utilised the PICA Studio to generate hundreds of drawings in his earnest pursuit of the value of artistic process whilst also interrogating the notion of cynicism.

After the public presentation of his visual research on the 10th of August 2010, all the work culminating from this residency was bundled up and discarded.
