Adam Pendleton: Who Owns Geometry Anyway?

From November 7-December 19, Friedman Benda presents "Adam Pendleton: Who Owns Geometry Anyway?," marking the gallery’s first collaboration with the artist and Pendleton’s inaugural exploration of furniture typologies. Pendleton’s works, stemming from the seeds of simple geometric figures, explore themes of the historical avant-garde that influenced modern and contemporary aesthetics.

In "Who Owns Geometry Anyway," Pendleton expands on his existing conceptual practice to create functional forms, including dining tables, coffee and side tables, and chairs, incorporating wood, onyx, and marble. Pendleton's pieces engage directly with the gallery's walls, creating an architectonic environment that is at once both provocative and grounded in place. Boulder, 2025.
