invisible cities
june 4 - july 16
Boston, June 4, 2010: Gallery Benoit is pleased to present Invisible Cities: Paper Constructions by Heidi Whitman. In this solo exhibition Whitman presents new dimensional work installed directly on the wall. The paper constructions are a continuation of Whitman’s ongoing series of mental maps, Brain Terrain. The structure of cities and the structure of the mind are conflated in these new paper constructions. Plans of ancient ruins and contemporary city grids are layered and edited throughout Whitman’s work. The process of repeating, adding, and subtracting invokes memory and absence. Shadows as well as vocabulary of structures — nets, spirals, ladders, cranes, bridges, spider webs — are integral to these delicate but resilient constructions.
