Ben Sanders
New Caps

From June 15 – July 30 2023, the gallery hosted Ben Sanders’ New Caps, a presentation of a dozen new signature Bottle Cap compositions by the artist. Presiding over a narrative variously encompassing post-human landscapes, alien brews, artificial flavors, and agricultural hexes, the lush Caps are a continuation of Sanders’ multidisciplinary approach to substrate and painting. View the exhibition and available works here.

Ben Sanders
Bottle Caps Book

Available now, here and at the gallery. Co-published with OCHI in tandem with the presentation of Sanders’ New Caps, Bottle Caps presents 40+ bottle cap paintings by Pasadena-based multi-disciplinary artist Ben Sanders, spanning nearly a decade and culminating in the works currently on view. The 96-page, hardcover book was offset-printed in Belgium by die Keure and features an introduction from Marta’s co-director and a pictorial essay from OCHI director Meghan Gordon.

Marta at The North American Pavilion

From June 21 – 25 2023, Marta had the pleasure of participating in The North American Pavilion at No. 9 Cork Street in London’s central Mayfair. The gallery presented a suite of eight paintings by Virva Hinnemo, a duo of Douglas Fir chair works by Minjae Kim, a quadruple of glazed stoneware vessels by Dino Matt, and three functional sculptures from the Soft Foam Works series by Kristen Wentrcek & Andrew Zebulon. Many thanks to our peers and collaborators, to our wonderful hosts at Frieze, and to the happy droves of friends, colleagues, artists, collectors, curators and members of the press for visiting the gallery’s inaugural international presentation. View the exhibition and available works here.

Working with:
Lindsay Muscato & Joshua Friedman

Marta is pleased to continue its ongoing relationship with local artists Lindsey Muscato & Joshua Friedman. The gallery has been working with the Los Angeles duo on commissions and special projects since initially hosting the pair’s ambitious Kodama series in early 2020. We look forward to presenting an exhibition of new works by Muscato & Friedman in 2024. For all inquiries related to the artists’ past and ongoing output, kindly email — information@marta.la

Working with:
Bennet Schlesinger

Marta is delighted to be working with Bennet Schlesigner following the artist’s recent and foundational tenure with friend and colleague Sebastian Gladstone. We initially had the pleasure of experiencing Bennet’s outstanding sculptures and light works several years ago amidst the galleries’ joint Holiday Fete, and have been admirers of the California artist’s practice since. The gallery will host a solo exhibition of new works by Schlesigner in 2024. For all inquiries and commissions related to the artist’s past and ongoing works, kindly email — information@marta.la

Marta

Marta is a gallery that hosts works at the meeting points of art and design. Founded in Los Angeles in 2019, the gallery makes space for artists to experiment with the utility of design, and for designers to explore the occasional abandonment of function. Marta’s curatorial and publication programs take interest in both the process of an object’s creation as well the narrative of its creator(s). Marta embraces the intersection of disciplines, advocates for diversity in design, and promotes access to the arts.
