Description
Sandroni Rey is pleased to present Eleven, a project in the Container project space by Sarah Vanderlip. This will be Vanderlip's first exhibition with Sandroni Rey.
Vanderlip has worked in sculpture, collage, video, and installation often drawing directly from close personal and familial experiences. Eleven is an installation that reinterprets an exhibition, “Two,” that Vanderlip did in New York at XL Gallery in 1999, in which she created a play space in the gallery for her 2 year old son. Throughout the exhibition he spent time in the space, making it his own until the final day of the show when the piece was completed.
Almost a decade later Vanderlip recreates the piece based on a design entirely conceived by her now eleven year old son. Before the show opens he and his friends will spend time in the piece and how they leave it will be the first incarnation of the work. Echoing the body cast of her son she made for the first incarnation of the piece, Vanderlip has editioned a cast of a phallic-shaped light bulb in red rubber that represents his presence in the work when he is not physically in it. When the piece opens to the public, it will serve as a medium for collaboration between artist, subject and viewer—inviting play and investigation over the course of the show.
Sarah Vanderlip lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, has taught at UCLA and is currently teaching at California State University, Bakersfield. She has shown her work internationally, including exhibitions at White Columns, New York; XL Xavier La Boullbenne, New York; L.A.C. Lieu d'Art Contemporain, Sigean, France; Bonelli Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA; Galerie Jacques Girard, Toulouse, France.

The gallery originally opened as a project space where Sandroni and Rey worked with local emerging artists before developing a more formal program. As they began to exhibit national and international artists on a larger scale, Sandroni Rey moved to a new space in Culver City designed by Dia:Beacon architects Allen Koch and Linda Taalman in 2004. Since that time, Culver City has emerged as one of the primary art destinations in Los Angeles, becoming a distinct counterpart to previously established gallery centers including the 6150 Wilshire complex, Chung King Road in Chinatown and Santa Monica's Bergamot Station. The move to this new space and the inaugural show confirming a roster of both emerging and mid-career artists established Sandroni Rey as one of the pre-eminent contemporary art galleries in Los Angeles. In 2002, Sandroni Rey debuted the work of Leipzig, Germany-based artist David Schnell at Art Basel Miami Beach. Marking Schnell's first presence in North America, this exhibition also initiated the gallery's connection to young artists working in Germany that has become one of the defining aspects of the program at Sandroni Rey. Since that time, several of these young artists have become internationally recognized as part of The New Leipzig School. Sandroni and Rey established a niche in this burgeoning art movement before many others when they first exhibited the works of Tilo Baumgartel, Martin Eder, Eberhard Havekost, Thoralf Knobloch, Jörg Lozek, Frank Nitsche and David Schnell in the group show Future/Five Artists from Germany. Schnell, Lozek and another Leipzig artist Tom Fabritius, have since had solo shows at the gallery, and an exhibition comprised of paintings by Markus Draper and Thoralf Knobloch, along with Draper's sculptural installation from the Prague Biennial “My Utopia is Never Gonna Work (Pain),” were shown at Sandroni Rey this spring. In addition to a focus on young German artists, Sandroni Rey has developed a full program of artists from the United States, including Hernan Bas, Sue de Beer, iona rozeal brown, John White Cerasulo, Anthony Goicolea, Soo Kim, Matty Byloos, Chloe Piene and Adam Putnam. Diversely talented and working at varying stages in their careers, these artists have shown their work throughout the world and are part of collections at institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In an ongoing commitment to observe and impact the world of contemporary art, Sandroni Rey has participated in the following art fairs: Art Chicago, Art Cologne, MACO: Mexico Contemporary Art Fair, Art Basel: Miami Beach and LA Art in New York.Eventful Movies
