BEN TIMPSON's Medium is the Message

by farrah on 7/3/2008

We had a great time visiting Ben Timpson in Kansas City, Missouri. We were there to film Ben creating a new piece. To our suprise & delight he was dedicating the piece to Mitchell & I. His "performance piece", he appropriately gave the title "Picnic"is based on a photograph by Emily Lawrence from Charleston's Most Unique of Mitchell & I "having a picnic".


When you see Ben at work; it's no suprise that Marshall McLuhan is one of his major influences. No, it's not McLuhan's design that influences Ben, it's his philosophy that "the medium is the message".

Ben will be having a show in Charleston this Fall/Winter where his originals will be on view for the first time! The audience will be able to view the print as well as the original slide under a magnifying glass. "The Making of the Picnic" video will also be screening as part of the exhibit.

We have thoroughly enjoyed Ben's first book "End of the Roll" so needless to say we were ecstatic to find out that Ben is working on another book. I’m sure it will rock the art world.
