Lump presents ‘How to Ask for Wind When You Want a Storm’, a solo exhibition by David Benarroch. Through sculpture, drawing, and mixed media, Benarroch investigates the intimate and dynamic relationships between materials, ideas, and human presence. The works unfold as a single, immersive environment—gestures and forms that lean toward one another, leaving traces that accumulate, drift, and converge. Engaging a broad understanding of memory, the exhibition attends to the ways experience, sensation, and time become inscribed in material and form. Benarroch’s practice explores the fine line between the intentional and the incidental through material expressions of process, gesture, movement, and freedom. Rooted in intimate, hands-on engagement, he works with malleable materials that are allowed to resist, shift, and respond, embracing chance, spontaneity, and play. His intuitive, exploratory process is driven by the “will” of the material rather than a predetermined outcome, reflecting an interest in critical posthumanism and an intentional release of control—an acknowledgment that he works with materials, not on them.
