Kai Benson
NOISE BANK by KAI BENSON
In his latest exhibition, Noise Bank, artist Kai Benson invites viewers to explore the forgotten remnants of the 20th century through his analog collages. By repurposing obsolescent science books, vintage magazines, and discarded record sleeves, Benson crafts complex, impossible structures that challenge the boundaries of both form and material.

JOSHUA MCGARVEY
The KEY
TELL Space unveiled The Key on December 13, 2024—a multifaceted exhibition celebrating the creative duality of Minneapolis-based artist Joshua McGarvey. The exhibition showcased McGarvey’s dynamic intersection of conceptual art and functional design. As a visual artist, McGarvey explored themes of transformation and sustainability, most notably through a limited-edition handbag collection crafted from recycled green screen fabric originally used in his Posturing exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. These ten one-of-a-kind bags challenged traditional ideas around waste, material value, and reinvention.
