BIO
Marissa Lee Benedict (b. 1985, Palm Springs, CA, US) is a visual artist, writer, and lecturer. Stretching and scaling the grammars of official languages, systems, and architectures – from the infrastructures of water management to the logistics of laying fiber optic cable – her work draws across traditions of American land art, situational aesthetics, and expanded forms of institutional critique.
Benedict received an MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has exhibited at venues such as The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago, and the CUE Art Foundation (NYC); and, ︎︎︎in collaboration with artist David Rueter, at the US Pavilion as part of the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale; at Contemporary Art Brussels; and at The Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, Chicago. Benedict recently exhibited the major collaborative work deposition (2018 – ) with Rueter and Daniel de Paula in the vão of the 34th São Paulo Bienal, supported by an ︎︎︎Individual Grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. She has participated in numerous national and international residencies, most recently as a participant in the 2018-19 program at the ︎︎︎Jan van Eyck Academie (Maastricht, NL). Benedict and Rueter are currently based in Amsterdam (NL).
