From the Bench of Gino Robair

  • San Francisco Center for the Book 375 Rhode Island Street San Francisco, CA, 94103 United States (map)

Welcome to From the Bench, SFCB's series of short studio visits with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress, you never know what you'll learn about from these amazing artists.

This month we'll chat with Gino Robair, a papermaker, printer, composer, and percussionist based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Gino Robair’s artistic practice examines how systems of human interaction are influenced by perceptions of materiality. His PhD research at the UC Davis focuses on papermaking and letterpress printing as forms of embodied choreography; a performative process that puts artists in conversation with their tools, materials, and ambient environment. The results of this interaction are ephemeral memory-objects carrying traces of their materialization that can be used as resources for interpretation within a performance context. 

You can find out more at his website.

Please visit our Vimeo page to see past recordings, previously known as Shelter in Studio.

Registration will close at noon on the day of the event. The zoom link will be emailed at 10:30am Pacific time, two hours before the start time.
