Ben's 'Le Tas d'esprit' Exhibition in Paris, 2006
In 2006, Ben organized 'Le Tas d'esprit', a multi-venue exhibition across Paris from September to October. The show engaged with Dada's legacy, referencing the recent Dada exhibition at Centre Pompidou that traveled to Washington and New York. Ben's work questions the state of art, echoing Charles Dreyfus's statement: 'Dada is not dead, it is buried.' The exhibition invites viewers to ponder whether this is provocation or observation.
