Benjamín Felice
Benjamín Felice (b. 1990, Tucumán, Argentina) studied at Escuela de Bellas Artes y Artes Decorativas e Industriales “Maestro Atilio Terragni” at Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. He holds a degree in Cinematography and a technical degree in Photography from the Escuela Universitaria de Cine, Video y Televisión at the same university. He studied programming, taught 3D modeling and music production, and participated in critique programs with Verónica Gómez, Eduardo Stupía, Eduardo Basualdo, Lux Lindner, and Rafael Cippolini. Alongside his artistic practice, he works as a curator and was also director of the experimental gallery OHNO.
His practice encompasses sculpture, installation, and drawing through material experimentations linked to image-making, technology, and the construction of contemporary fictions. Through historical and contextual research into the objects that surround us, he develops a symbolic imaginary where ritual, craft, and industry coexist, proposing objects and assemblages that tension the relationship between body, technique, and myth.
He has held solo and group exhibitions at Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (MAMBA), Museo Nacional de Tres de Febrero (MUNTREF), Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, and PASTO Galería, among others. He has participated in programs and residencies including La Ira de Dios, the Programa de Artistas at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Boca de Fuego at Munar, the Bienal de Arte Joven de Buenos Aires, and Yungas Arte Contemporáneo.
He lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
