Description
In what promises to be an impressive study of San Francisco artist Matt Gil’s work and process over the past decade, the artist will present a series of new small-scale ceramic sculptures on a groundbreaking, hand-constructed, 22-foot long oval-shaped mechanized conveyor – consisting of 52 steel pallets – placed in the middle of the gallery floor. The conveyor, recalling Gil’s kinetic sculptures from the 1980s, makes a complete revolution every two minutes. It will enable the viewer to remain standing in one place while up to 25 sculptures circle in front of them.

Gil will also present a series of watercolors culled from his sketchbook, providing a unique window into his creative genesis. New large-scale painted aluminum sculptures from Gil’s metal shop yard will also be on view.
