In these alchemical works, New York artist Ben Weiner soaks ink-coated chromatography paper in solutions of drugs, resulting in hazy, prismatic abstractions. Inspired by the “drug diaries” patients keep during clinical trials, Weiner made the drawings using substances left from his own daily consumption, so that they constitute a record of his mental states over time. The drugs range from the psychedelic to the addictive, to the mundane, including Marijuana, Paxlovid, MDMA, Vicodin, Kombucha, Advil, Caffeine, and Mezcal. By couching painterly expressionism within an honest record of his substance usage, Weiner self-critically engages with issues surrounding wellness and mental health.
Ben Weiner studied painting under muralist José Lazcarro Toquero at La Universidad de las Americas (Mexico), before completing his BA at Wesleyan University (CT). His work has been exhibited widely within the US and internationally, at institutions including The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Tarble Art Center, The Carnegie Art Museum, ArtSpace, La Gruta (CDMX), and The Boca Raton Museum of Art. Weiner has been included in recent gallery exhibitions at 56 Henry, Ochi Gallery, Below Grand, Grey Area, Hunted Projects, and Mark Moore Gallery. His work is represented in various public collections, including Microsoft, Sammlung, Progressive Insurance, and The Frederick R. Weisman Collection. He has been featured in publications including Artforum, Artnews, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, W Magazine, Interview Magazine, Artsy, and Vogue. Weiner lives and works in Queens, New York. Early in his career Weiner worked closely with the artist Jeff Koons as an assistant.
We’re excited to announce the latest gift from Vicki and Kent Logan to the Town of Vail’s public art collection. You’ll find Yoram Wolberger’s polished stainless steel sculpture at the main entrance to the Ford Park sports fields.
Male Baseball #1 depicts a dramatic enlargement of the baseball player figurine found on Little League trophies. Created with digital technologies, the sculpture examines notions of athleticism, community, commemoration and belonging, enlarged beyond any possibility of dismissal the stereotypical hero in the global sport of baseball.
A related work to this one by Yoram is in San Diego’s new Central Library, to be exact–contains a unique and important repository of American history. The Sullivan Family Baseball Research Center, located on the eighth floor of the downtown library, is home to the Society forAmerican Baseball Research (SABR) Collection. It constitutes the largest baseball library west of Cooperstown! Shelves of books, magazines, journals, scrapbooks and other historical documents, and many photographs, have recorded in detail the fascinating history of American baseball. And it’s all open to the public!
The research center is directly adjacent to the spacious, high-domed reading room. In the center of the collection is a shiny sculpture of a player swinging a bat, titled Male baseball #1, created in 2009 by artist Yoram Wolberger. On one wall among many old photos, a video screen shows scenes from baseball history. This is one super cool section of the library!
According to the website of the Society for American Baseball Research: “The Baseball Research Center opened in 2001, with an initial collection of books and microfilm donated by SABR’s Ted Williams Chapter. In the years since, it has grown to more than 3,000 publications, books, and journals, and 300 microfilm reels.”
Wolberger’s (b. 1963, Tel Aviv, Israel) works have been acquired for the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA), the Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Sweeney Art Gallery, University of California Riverside (CA) and the McNay Art Museum (TX). The artist lives and works in San Francisco, CA.
