Exhibitions, Italy, Genoa, Genova, 22 April 2011

The title is a wordplay between the locution critical mass, term used in sociology to define the critical point beyond which an event becomes uncontrollable, and the word mess.
Human society is the basic matter that constitutes the artworks of this exhibition; beyond the surface of appearance, they face very profound thematics starting from an intimate philosophic base. Images and concepts try to return intellectual harmony to a society which reveals itself as deeply unbalanced, cause it's founded on the culture of coercion and mystification. The human being is victim or witness of the continuous leaking of tribulations, coming from the dripping of events that generate from prevarications and injustices of which he is the same cause.
Mess also meant as food ration; and in the social tissue also food has its important role. Benna often faces with the topic of nutrition, both in its socio-economical implications of panem et circenses and in the shifting from its metaphysical value to a reduction to mere simulacrum.
Artist of eclectic manifestation, Benna's expression utilizes video, photography, painting, digital graphics, plastic art, sculpting, poetry, sound; not necessarily limiting to these disciplines.
