Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present Robert Rauschenberg’s Rookery Mounds,reunited in New York as the complete suite for the first time since they were initially exhibited at the legendary Castelli Graphics in 1979.
Aptly named, these ‘Reversals’ are created on two identical 15x21-inch sheets of paper that are joined in the center and framed as a single work, the black and white areas reversing themselves left-to-right in a variety of proportions. The ten images in this series each have a rich, textured surface of hand-applied Paintstik mixed with silica.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to announce the gallery’s expansion to include the entire third floorof our Chelsea location. Now in our thirty-third year of exhibiting and representing the fine art editioned publications of the Los Angeles-based artists’ workshop, Gemini G.E.L., the gallery is adding an exhibition space devoted to long-term rotating presentations of large-scale works. Gemini G.E.L.
Saban’s dynamic and compelling investigation of materials tests the limits of painting, sculpture, and printmaking in new and enterprising ways. In the summer of 2015, Saban approached her collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop by exploring a broad range of the workshop’s presses and printmaking techniques. As a result, one body of work is a series of five large, colorful etchings in which she takes ordinary objects as her inspiration, deconstructing and examining their various internal parts.
On view from March 2 through April 30, 2016, Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present a partial survey of prints and sculptures created independently by Nauman and Rothenberg but in collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop dating back to the 1980s. Both artists have, at times, isolated body parts – hands, heads, arms, mouths – but often to very different effects. Interestingly, in their projects with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop in Los Angeles, particularly those after the two became a couple in the 1980s, a significant visual connection can be perceived.
