Benjamin Barretto's practice encompasses a diverse range of material outcomes. Derived from the formal and conceptual strategies of activity-based processes, durational works and performance, feedback, looping, chance and mistakes are of equal import to the willful, often spontaneous, acts of the artist.

Barretto graduated from Curtain University, Perth, with Honors in 2011, and was a visiting scholar at the École Nationale Supérieur d’Art in Dijon, France. Recent exhibitions include Play Chandelier, 6817, Los Angeles; Physical Therapy, Furini Arte Contemporanea, Arezzo, Italy; Bloody Red Sun of Fantastic LA, PIASA, Paris, France, curated by René-Julien Praz; Dance Music, Venn Gallery, Perth and Surround Sound, Highlight Gallery, San Francisco.
