Clinic

The duo exhibition Clinic brings together artists Sara Benninga and Adi T. Hoffman inviting viewers to examine where their works intersect and diverge from one another. Both artists present large and sensual paintings that are rooted in the practice of drawing and address variations and physical interactions.

Adi T. Hoffman examines hybrid amalgamations of the human body, machines, medical devices, and fitness equipment. The body becomes an “experimental field,” where it is adapted, expanded, and sometimes moves away from its natural humanity to accomplish integration with various devices.

Sara Benninga takes a different approach to the clinical-analytical concept. She sees painting as a field for examining mental processes, which emerge from the interactions between different figures.

The connection between the artists weaves an artistic dialogue through the disassembly and reassembly of body and mind, inviting the viewers to carry out an in-depth examination of the works.
