First Friday Opening at Scalehouse: Liminal by Gonzalo Benavente

Scalehouse presents Liminal, an exhibition by Peruvian artist Gonzalo Benavente exploring the connections between cultural heritage, identity, migration, and technology. Born in Cusco, Peru, Benavente brings together pre-Columbian symbolism, folded paper, cardboard sculpture, interactive installations, and digital technologies to connect ancestral traditions with contemporary forms of artistic expression.

The exhibition explores the spaces between what we inherit and what we transform, what feels familiar and what feels foreign, and how our sense of belonging changes over time. Through sculpture and digital processes, Benavente reimagines memory, explores evolving identities, and creates new connections between past and present.

Benavente is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts of Peru, founder of Orilab, a laboratory dedicated to paper folding and paper art, and author of Sculptural Origami.

On view November 6, 2026–January 22, 2027. Join us for the First Friday opening reception on November 6 and the second First Friday reception on December 4, both from 5:00pm–7:00pm. An artist talk featuring a guided walkthrough and Q&A with Benavente will take place on December 18 at 5:30 PM. An artist-led workshop is also planned, with details to be announced.

Free and open to the public.
