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.
This exhibition spans fifty years of Claes Oldenburg's creative output, ranging from imagery precisely rendered and architecturally inspired to lyrical and freely drawn. Internationally known for his large-scale, site-specific sculptures made with Coosje van Bruggen (1942-2009), Oldenburg’s works on paper reveal how drawing is central to his creative process. Developing and reworking themes in various states, Oldenburg uses printmaking and editions as a way to explore themes of iteration, mechanical process, and object/body equivalents.
