Despite Analia Saban’s participation in many international exhibitions, “Gag” is her first show in New York. Installed in Bonakdar’s upstairs galleries, the selection highlights Saban’s skill at using traditional art-making materials in exactly the way you wouldn’t expect-there’s a mostly raw canvas, lightly flecked with paint, with an attached toilet brush cast in acrylic, and approximately 110 pounds of still-wet oil paint heavily pooled in a horizontal sling made of canvas.
