Ann Hamilton is well known for her large-scale installations and collaborations with diverse groups of visual artists, poets, and performers. The five new lithographs on view now are a continuation of a previously published series of eight screen prints related to the artist’s 2015 exhibition the common SENSE, commissioned by the Henry Art Gallery. As a Visiting Fellow at the University of Washington, Hamilton was given unfettered access to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, where she was seduced by the extensive collection of mammal, bird, and amphibian specimens.
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.
