Thrown into the World by Eli Benveniste
Thrown Into the World
We’re thrilled to invite you to Tings Lisbon on May 22, 6–8 pm, for the opening of Thrown Into the World by the acclaimed Danish artist Eli Benveniste.
Eli Benveniste’s career is nothing short of remarkable. For almost four decades, she has exhibited her work at leading galleries and institutions in Denmark and abroad, and her sculptures are part of major public collections.
So welcoming Eli and her work into our small hotel feels truly special.

Thrown into the world 2024-25, is a new series of ceramic reliefs and sculptures. The works appears “untouched”, except for the decisive gesture of the hand that created them.

Thrown Into the World showcases Eli’s latest “untouched” ceramic reliefs, some of which are cast in silicone rubber for the exhibition at Tings Art in Lisbon.

HAPPENING IN RUBBER
Eli’s playful use of rubber, with its soft-yet-tough doll feel, transforms classic clay reliefs into something totally fresh-funky, cool, and surprisingly tactile. The precision of the rubber impressions is striking.
Rubber might not seem noble, but in Eli’s hands, it’s absolutely contemporary. There’s a certain irony here – progress pulling us forward and backward at the same time: from humanity’s first material to one that seems to be our last.

Thrown Into the World is Eli Benveniste's second showing in Portugal.
In 2002 she had a major exhibition in Lisbon, at the Museu da Àgua – Reservatório da Patriarcal no jardim do Príncipe Real, showing reliefs in glass and sculptures in terracotta. The exhibition was supported by the Danish Embassy.
