Ben Alper
Photography | 2019
Ben Alper's series "Conflation" is a series of digital composites that originate from multiple images of the same object or space. Depicting marginal or derelict urban sites, the pictures represent a patchwork of decisions made behind the camera. While these pieces upend traditional notions of the singular photographic trace, they nevertheless constitute a series of imprints. They attempt to synthesize redundant, often ordinary photographs into something transcendent. By layering, erasing and cutting away to reveal information below, these hybrid works vacillate between presence and absence and construction and deconstruction. Stepping away from the medium’s subtractive character, the pieces in “Conflation” turn toward an additive approach to image-construction. However, with each accumulated layer, a new kind of collapse occurs. The result is a formal and conceptual flattening, a tangle of images still tethered to their source, but fundamentally changed.

ARTISTS.
COLLECTORS.
COMMUNITY.
Artsuite is an online platform and art marketplace that’s all about creating connections — connecting artists with collectors, galleries with communities, advocates and activists with impactful causes and events. Most importantly, it’s about helping YOU connect with art that moves you and artists who will inspire you.
The most effective way to support working artists is to share their art and encourage the world to invest in their work. When Artsuite's founders came to that conclusion, they resolved to use their new platform to simplify the process of acquiring art and make the experience personalized and rewarding, for seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike. After all, no one should miss out on the true and abiding joy of living with art.
By organizing virtual exhibitions and unexpected collaborations, activating non-traditional spaces, offering art advising services and sharing the stories of artists and collectors from around the world, the Artsuite team is exploring creative ways to make interacting with art feel accessible and exciting. The goal? To grow a diverse, inclusive and evolving community and to advocate for artists and arts organizations through these dynamic art offerings and future philanthropic projects.
