"Over the past fifteen years, Will Benedict (*1978) has built up a body of work that acts as both fable and mirror for the universal ambiguities and conditions of human life. Working across media from painting to video, his practice might seem unwieldy and roaming to those not paying attention. His recently concluded survey at the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva, “Dialogue of the Dogs,” was a welcome chance to look comprehensively at his practice and see how it all fits together. Mitchell Anderson caught up with Benedict to discuss how he approached looking at his past output while creating and exhibiting new pieces, the sources that inspire his practice, and the collectivity that has powered it from the very beginning."
