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.

Bruce Nauman & Susan Rothenberg at Gemini G.E.L.
March 2, 2016 – April 30, 2016
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.

Selections from Five Decades of Gemini G.E.L. Biennale Artists
June 4, 2015 – September 12, 2015
An invitation to present one’s work at the Venice Biennale is a pivotal moment in any artists’ career, whether established or aspiring. At the 1964 Biennale, Robert Rauschenberg was awarded the Grand Prize; the Biennale’s recognition of Rauschenberg, then 38 years old and still the youngest artist so-honored to date, has been credited with introducing Pop Art to the artistic canon. Shortly after receiving the award, Rauschenberg came to Los Angeles and published his first of many Gemini prints.
