Ben Morea Exhibition

White Columns

This event has ended.

White Columns presents a rare exhibition of Ben Morea’s surviving abstract paintings from the early 1960s. Morea’s approach to art was informed by his mentor Aldo Tambellini as well as the Russian Suprematists, ancient art, and spiritual and mythological writers such as Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. Morea abandoned the visual art world by 1966, and began to stage direct action events as well as publishing radical political philosophy in his publication Black Mask. In 1966 he co-founded the anarchist collective Up Against The Wall Motherfuckers.
