Benny

& (2020) Benny. [Artefact]

Description

The positioning of Australian artist Ben Quilty as relatable, suffering savour/genius who labours tirelessly for our redemption, is the subject of this artwork — Benny. Projected on the imposing, patriarchal facade of the Art Gallery of NSW, Benny is a visual art performance/video work that critically engages with the Quilty-genius-myth. The work attempts to elucidate how, why and in what context representations of, and by, Quilty are connected, implied and complicit in the making of genius-fetish.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
