Today we are celebrating Nancy Rubins for our daily Women's History Month post. In the summer of 2017, Laura Fried took a trip to Nancy Rubins’s awe-inspiring studio in Topanga Canyon, CA. In her essay, now online, she recounts her visit, detailing Rubins’s latest sculptures and the history of the studio. Photographs from the visit offer a glimpse at the sculptures now on view in "Nancy Rubins: Diversifolia" at Gagosian Britannia Street, London. To read the interview on the new Gagosian Quarterly website, follow the link here: http://fal.cn/4xzF - "Nancy Rubins: Diversifolia" is on view at Gagosian Britannia Street, London through April 14, 2018.

Nancy Rubins "Diversifolia" at Gagosian Britannia Street, London opens tomorrow, February 6, 6–8PM GMT. Go check it out. Reversing the scale relationship between sculpture and viewer, a selection of smaller maquettes cast in bronze and aluminum allow Rubins’s calculated compositional decisions to be observed all at once, impossible when circumnavigating the towering assemblages. From the sprawling sculptures to the large-scale graphite drawings—burnished swathes of paper undulating from the walls—Rubins suggests an endless continuum between the chaos and coolness of modernism and the élan vital of the organic.

Nancy Rubins “Diversifolia” Exhibition at Gagosian Gallery Gagosian is pleased to present “Diversifolia,” an exhibition of new sculpture and drawings by Nancy Rubins. This is Rubins’s first solo exhibition in London. Rubins transforms found objects and industrial refuse into expertly orchestrated abstractions that are fluid and rhizomatic in nature. Achieving this expressive fluidity at such a large scale requires precise engineering; in her recent work, she has employed a structural property called “tensegrity,” wherein individual parts are arranged in balanced compression and secured with tensile cables.

#Tithonia #diversifolia is 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) in height with upright and sometimes #ligneous stalks in the form of woody shrubs. The large, showy flowers are #yellow to orange colored and 5–15 cm wide and 10–30 cm long. Leaves are sub-ovate, serrate, acute, 10 to 40 cm long, simply or mostly 3-7 lobed, somewhat glandular, and slightly grayish beneath. The seeds are achenes, 4-angled, and 5mm long. The seeds are spread by wind. The leaves of the plant alternate in sides they grow on, which is where the plant gets the name diversifolia. This is accompanied by flowers which are yellow in colour and range from 6–13 cm in length. It can grow throughout the year and its seeds are spread through way of wind, water, and #animals. #StopActingLikeAnimals #GaryLloyd #ForgotHisNameAlready #WhoSeGaryLloyd #RonaFree #MaskFree https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkpM_hJY7U6U4inB7EuuB347THed2UdvkdLRc0/?igshid=j46176zdwhcj

Nancy Rubins Makes Her London Debut in the Heavyweight Division | artnet News

The Los Angeles-based artist's new works are a monumental menagerie of creatures that fill Gagosian Gallery's space.

The Los Angeles-based artist says that being a half an inch shorter than Richard Serra was never going to stop her from making her mark as a sculptor in metal.

Press release—Nancy Rubins at Gagosian Britannia Street, London

JANUARY 11, 2018

NANCY RUBINS DIVERSIFOLIA Opening reception: Tuesday, February 6, 6–8PM February 7–April 14, 2018 6-24 Britannia Street London WC1X 9JD

I am interested in the balance, the engineering and tenuousness of the objects, as well as the dynamic tension and energy. . . . A continuum starts happening with one piece attached to another . . . the way that crystals or cells grow. I’m interested in the bigger picture. —Nancy Rubins Gagosian is pleased to present “Diversifolia,” an exhibition of new sculpture and drawings by Nancy Rubins. This is Rubins’s first solo exhibition in London.

Rubins transforms found objects and industrial refuse into expertly orchestrated abstractions that are fluid and rhizomatic in nature. Achieving this expressive fluidity at such a large scale requires precise engineering; in her recent work, she has employed a structural property called “tensegrity,” wherein individual parts are arranged in balanced compression and secured with tensile cables. Clusters of like objects—airplane parts, boats, carousel creatures, and more—seem to explode into space in all directions, propelled by their aggregated momentum. CONTINUE READING...
