Trustman Art Gallery presents WELL, featuring work by Eben Haines. This exhibition is on view through Friday, May 17, with an artist talk on Thursday, May 2 from 6:30-7:30
In WELL, Haines presents a series of disjointed assemblages intended to reveal the fractures in the spyglass of capitalism, through which we’re made to believe that if one cannot afford a place in the world, then one does not deserve a place in the world. The exhibition title refers to the largest installation in the show, an immersive work that invites viewers to enter into the bottom of a well.
Eben Haines was a recipient of the 2018 Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in Drawing, as well as the 2021 James and Audrey Foster Prize from the ICA Boston. He recently deinstalled a 3-month durational sculpture that was part of the 2023 Now + There Public Art Accelerator Program.
