Opening + Feature in Sun Sentinel

TV-PG, my new solo show, opens tonight as part of Imaginary Friends at the 1310 Gallery after a wonderful VIP viewing last night. Colleen Dougher over at Arterpillar wrote up an article on the show that made today's Sun Sentinel (upper right corner on the front page and 4A!). Here's an excerpt:
"instead of Bob Barker, there are body parts, human organs, sock puppets and medical accessories such as pills, a syringe and a bedpan. Morey says his show explores the way people demonize and embrace modern medicine, as well as "the way we self-medicate — and not necessarily with pills or drugs, but with TV, food and sex."

My solo show is opening at 1310 Gallery on March 17th as part of Imaginary Friends: three solo shows by myself, JC Bravo and Paul Caprio. My show, TV-PG is an accretion of multimedia work spanning 2008 to 2012 including drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, and an interactive installation. Look out for a feature in the Sun Sentinel and, if you can't make it to the opening, look forward to the closing on April 13th.

This week's NewTimes contains a pre-show review of Humoratorium and a shot of "Everything Must Go", one of three of new drawings featured in the show. A portion of the article focuses on a painting I've included saying:
"... be warned: A few of the pieces are about as whimsical as tattered, blood-stained dolls in the attic of an abandoned mansion. Florida native Benjamin Morey has contributed a painting of two reptilian, Pepto Bismol-pink hands that look like they might be those of the clown from "It" after he's stripped off his white gloves ..."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Friend and curator Lisa Rockford has asked me to show three new drawings and a painting of mine in her upcoming exhibition at the 1310 Gallery as one of her "featured" artists. I was also given the opportunity to promotional materials (including postcards and web blasts) for the show. Come out to the opening on October 1st for what is already looking like an excitingly dark and witty exhibition.
