January First Friday: Joseph Canizales & Benjamin Bradshaw

The Foundry Art Centre is thrilled to start the 2025 exhibition year with two powerful exhibitions: Joseph Canizales’ Geology in the Expanded Field and Benjamin Bradshaw’s River Town Space Time.

Joseph Canizales is a Salvadoran-Honduran American artist based in Miami, Florida. In Geology in the Expanded Field, Canizales utilizes digital and analog processes to reflect upon our understanding of the intertwined relationship between geological forces and our built environment. Through 3D printing, 3D modeling, 3D scanning, and analog art forms, Canizales investigates the connections between modern, rapid construction methods and the incredibly slow, yet determined march of naturally occurring erosion.

St. Louis-based inter-dimensional artist Benjamin Bradshaw’s River Town Space Time includes paintings and installation work that traverse the psychic topography of an endless internal landscape, weaving together the vibrant threads of graffiti, magical realism, and visionary art. Bradshaw draws inspiration from the raw energy and spontaneity of graffiti, as well as the delicate brushwork of ancient Chinese landscape painting. Employing a methodology of dynamic harmonies, his approach evokes the elemental forces of water, the intricate structure of plant growth, and the stratified histories of geological deep time.

These new exhibitions will open on Friday, January 3rd, 5-8pm, as part of the Foundry’s First Friday programming. Art activities, music, the Foundry bar, and more will be available throughout the evening.

Geology in the Expanded Field and River Town Space Time will be on view in the Main Galleries through February 15th.
