Hello Greedy Citizens! Sung by the greedy crow doppelgängers of The Restaurant’s cast. Does it remind you of anyone? 🔍💰🐦‍⬛💸 Stream Season 2 Episode 3 of The Restaurant on [dis.art] now By @rainingbodies @st123fen

Balice Hertling is pleased to announce « Hello Greedy Citizens », the third solo show by Will Benedict at the gallery, opening May 6, through June 7, 2025. Working across various media, Will Benedict engages in a process of deconstruction, hybridization, and recomposition of the image. His work critically—and often humorously—addresses popular media, commercial production, and advertising, creating a kind of semiotics of consumption and its symbology. Will Benedict (b. 1978, Los Angeles, USA) currently lives and works in Paris. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art (Copenhagen, 2024); Centre d’Art Contemporain (Geneva, 2022); Balice Hertling (Paris, 2018 and 2014); Fondazione Giuliani (Rome, 2017); Artspace (Auckland, 2015); Bergen Kunsthall (Bergen, 2014); and Halle für Kunst (Lüneburg, 2013), among others. He has also participated in group exhibitions at institutions including Fondazione MAST (Bologna, 2024)); Balice Hertling (Paris, 2022); Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement (Geneva, 2021); Belgrade Biennial (Belgrade, 2021); Art Sonje Center (Seoul, 2019); MMK (Frankfurt, 2018); the 9th Berlin Biennale (Berlin, 2016); 18th Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize (Paris, 2016); and the 31st Biennial of Graphic Arts (Ljubljana, 2015). His performance Pandemonium (curated by Pierre-Alexandre Mateos and Charles Teyssou) was held at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection (Paris, 2023). Works by Will Benedict are included in numerous collections, including the Aïshti Foundation (Lebanon), Albertina Museum (Vienna, Austria), CC Foundation (China), CNAP (France), Dallas Museum of Art (Texas, USA), Fondation d’entreprise Galeries Lafayette (France), FMAC Genève (Switzerland), Giuliani Foundation (Italy), and the MMK (Germany), among others. @rainingbodies #balicehertling
