Dr Benjamin Woods
Ben is an artist and lecturer practicing in Naarm (Melbourne). His improvisational practice works cyclically between sound, sculptural-spatial, and writing processes. The works that he makes focus on intersections between embodied listening and forming practices, including an interest in queer practices, forces of habit, and affect. Ben holds a BFA Honours (2007-10) and MFA (2011-12) from the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne; and a PhD from Monash University, Fine Art (2018-22). As well as being a Lecturer at Monash University, Fine Art, Ben also currently co-directs Run Artist Run (with Yongping Ren), a studio residency program in Docklands.
