Gedi Sibony - Painting, Drawing & Sculpture
New monograph.

“Objects live their lives, going from place to place, just like the rest of us. Their moods change. Some have different temperaments than others—there are the bullies, the nerds, the dandies, the punks, the hippies, the pranksters, the playboys. They have a mind of their own.
Gedi Sibony's studio has a mind of its own. Ideas come and go, people pass through, decisions are made, problems get solved. There's enough room to walk around, but there is also a significant amount of stuff in the way—crates, ladders, furniture, rolls of fabric, sheets of cardboard, stored artworks, empty food containers, children's toys. As any new object arrives, another moves slightly out of the way.”
– Anthony Huberman

Painting · Drawing & Sculpture, Collected Works · Gedi Sibony, Volume III brings together a selection of works made over the last fifteen years by Gedi Sibony, alongside texts by Dan Byers, Michael Darling, Sarah French, Agnes Gund, Anthony Huberman, John Hutchinson, Emily Rauh Pulitzer, Conny Pur till, Tara Ramadan, Yasmil Raymond, Ami Sibony and others, inspired by the evocative power of the American artist's sculptures and installations.

Gedi Sibony's sculptures and installations feature a singular aesthetics characterized by a sensual use of materials and forms. Cardboard, wood, carpet, plastic sheets, and latex paint are embedded into the exhibition rooms' architectural context. The interaction of these "materials without qualities" results in fragile arrangements which emphasize their particular tactile properties. The artist's "spatial collages" oscillate between object-like appearance and installation ensembles. They could be described as low-key high art.
Born in 1973 in New York where he lives and works, Gedi Sibony is the 2006 Metcalf Award winner. His work has been shown at Midway Contemporary Art Center in Minneapolis (2006) and New York's New Museum in 2007, among other venues.
