Opening: Analia Saban

Join us as we celebrate the first major museum presentation of Argentinian artist Analia Saban, surveying the last decade of her practice through 30 works that explore everyday objects through unconventional usage of materials. Saban, currently working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography, uses the constituent parts of each as her very subject matter. Creating dialogue between media’s historically defined conventions and their manifestations within the anatomy of individual artworks, her work is deeply inscribed in the ongoing process of conditional evolution and boundary-pushing renegotiation of the possibilities of media-based practices. What contributes to the uniqueness of her approach is a decidedly feminist sensibility, the frequent inscription of her physical and psychic self, and a good dose of wry humor.
