In the two series that comprise this release, titled Circuit Boards and Transcending Grids, we see Saban’s fascination with linework. For the six Circuit Boards, Saban integrates computer-designed lines, more solid in appearance, with linework created with a handheld electric rotatory tool called a Dremel. It brings to the viewer what appears to be a vibrant switchboard, with energy generated from the Dremel adding movement from the artist’s hand.
From the artist's first drypoint etching, created in 2008 to raise funds for Senator Obama's presidential campaign, to monumental multi-colored aquatints, this survey presents every edition that Mehretu has created in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L., the renowned artists' workshop.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present Gemini’s third collaboration with Los Angeles based artist Analia Saban featuring six new etchings. In this latest series, the artist delves into more conceptual ideas, considering the steps involved in creating and presenting an edition. The resulting works call attention to these norms in a thoughtful and refreshing way.
This year's Holiday Season is unprecedented for more reasons than one, and we hope yours will be spent with friends and loved ones in whatever way you're able to. Joni and Sidney remain in good spirits out west, while Chris and Elizabeth hold down the gallery fort in New York. The day after Thanksgiving, notoriously known as "Black Friday", is usually relegated to an overwhelming slew of ads, bargains and general shopping mayhem.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present Under One Roof, an exhibition about commodification, domesticity, private and public selves, and the blurred boundary between furniture design and art. The artists in this show question the meaning of our relationship to interior environments as well as household objects, and investigating these relationships reveal the ‘house’ as both a lived experience and a vehicle for abstract thought.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present a new series of limited edition prints by Richard Serra combining etching and screenprinting. Composites are created by embracing the physical relationship between what happens when a deeply etched copper plate is printed onto handmade Japanese paper followed by the opaque viscosity of Paintstik being pushed through a coarse silkscreen. A marked departure from the appearance of previous Serra editions, Composites are dynamic in their mottled surfaces and exploration of texture and saturation.
