Benning's videos, which she began to make in the late 1980s with a Fisher-Price Pixelvision 2000 \"toy camera,\" are known for their explorations of loneliness, alienation, gender ambiguity and her own developing lesbian identity. Benning's recent paintings--flat, illustrative, exuberant--are playful, imaginary portraits that address similar themes. \u003ci\u003ePlay Pause\u003c\/i\u003e, created entirely from hundreds of Benning's drawings, offers a rhythmic and affectionate view of contemporary life in a city's streets, parks and gay bars. Includes written contributions by Eileen Myles and Aleksandar Hemon, and a conversation with the New York painter Amy Sillman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wexner Center","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47999800115351,"sku":"9781881390411","price":1587.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781881390411.webp?v=1783601775","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sadie-benning-suspended-animation-9781881390411","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
