First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L.
Group Exhibition
Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles
Through July 7, 2024
The photographs of Sidney B. Felsen eloquently document the remarkable history of Gemini G.E.L, the Los Angeles artist’s workshop and publisher of limited-edition prints and sculpture, founded in 1966. They capture with great empathy the joy and demands of the creative process, record the many close friendships fostered with artists who collaborated at Gemini, and bear witness to the evolving Los Angeles art scene.

Made by Hand/Born Digital
Group Exhibition
Santa Barbara Museum of Art
Through August 25, 2024
This exhibition features nine artists who use brushes, AI, paint, 3D printers, scissors, magazines printed on paper, digital looms, potter’s wheels, Photoshop and Apple Photo. By continuing to craft ceramics, paintings and textiles by hand, and also using the latest digital tools, many of the artists in the exhibition blur a distinction between the handmade and digital. Collectively, these artists remind us that computers are tools—exquisitely complicated but still tools—made by and for humans.

Synthetic Self
September 15–October 28, 2023

The work of Analia Saban, which spans a plethora of media and approaches, has consistently explored the meanings we give to the objets and technologies that inform our everyday lives. Sprüth Magers and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery are pleased to present Synthetic Self, an exhibition of new work by Saban on view at their Los Angeles galleries. Comprising sculpture, painting, tapestries and other newly reimagined artistic media, the artist investigates subjects of paramount importance today at the intersection of environmental concerns, artificial intelligence and the human mind.

Save As
February 25–April 10, 2021
Berlin

Save As presents Analia Saban's remarkable woven canvases and Pleated Ink works in Germany for the first time, along with other new paintings and sculptures. As suggested in the title, which borrows from the computer function to “save as” one digital format or another, the artist's hybrid objects move between states of being, shifting in meaning as they do. Saban’s works point to the pervasiveness today of technological processes, and the increasingly porous lines between digital and analogue thinking, the physical and virtual worlds, and facts and fabrications.

Pigmente
July 7–August 26, 2017
Berlin

A recent core interest for Analia Saban has been an investigation into the history of paint formulas and how they have shaped art history. She uncovers at an almost microscopic level the entwined histories of artists and their mediums. In these new works the use of pigment makes reference to historical styles and methods of painting, as well as borrowing from modern technologies. Pigmente, her fifth solo exhibition at the gallery, will run concurrently with Folds and Faults, a solo show at the Los Angeles gallery.

Folds and Faults
June 28–August 19, 2017
Los Angeles

This exhibition of new work by Analia Saban extends the artist’s experimental, witty, and profound exploration into the ways in which artworks both enter into being and enter into dialogue with the world they inhabit. Across four recent series, the artist weaves together—literally, at times—medium and content, folding art and architectural references in with everyday concerns that range from lighthearted investigations to meditations on mortality.

Interiors
February 27–March 28, 2015
London

Analia Saban has gained renown for work that playfully carves open the conventions of photography, painting and sculpture. Interiors, her third exhibition with Sprüth Magers and her first in the London gallery, evokes an array of ideas about how genre and media affect our perception of different artworks, and vice versa. Using the constituent parts of her media as her very subject matter, Saban constructs a dialogue between the conventions that delineate various genres and the manifestation of these characteristics in the anatomy, or "interior," of individual artworks.

Bathroom Sink, Etc.
January 25–February 23, 2013
Berlin

Analia Saban subjects her works to deconstructive processes, pulling apart their layers and reassembling them in unconventional ways, revealing how art exists as both a physical and social construction. Continuing this exploration, the works on view in her third exhibition with Sprüth Magers, and her first at the Berlin gallery, reflect her latest lines of inquiry, including linkages between art and domestic space, as well as the potential for painting to evoke at once mundane and transcendent qualities.

Wet Paintings in the Womb
March 28–May 19, 2007
Munich

Wet Paintings in the Womb is Analia Saban's first solo exhibition in Europe and presents new works from 2006 and 2007 that experiment with the relationship between canvas and paint. A student of conceptual artist John Baldessari, Saban's method of working is both artistic and scientific. She scrutinizes the process of creating a picture—indeed, she looks for that very element which makes it a picture.
