SUMMARY:Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt: Tenemental (With Sighs Too Deep for Words)
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, November 16\, 6–9 PM \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project in cooperation with Pavel Zoubok Fine Art is pleased to present Tenemental (With Sighs Too Deep for Words)\, a survey of works by pioneering artist and Stonewall veteran Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt (b. 1948). Enduring some five decades—and continuing to influence subsequent generations of artists—Lanigan-Schmidt has evolved a wholly unique visual language of reflection and refraction. With sources ranging from Byzantine iconography to contemporary kitsch\, he incorporates dazzling alternative materials such as tinsel\, Mylar\, foil\, cellophane\, plastic wrap\, household staples\, and glitter into densely layered mixed media constructions and environments. \nBeyond their glitzy surfaces\, his works point knowingly to the complex intersections of sexuality\, class\, and religion. Featured in the exhibition is his poignant autobiographical installation Mysterium Tremendum (late 1980s)\, consisting of 125 baking pans adorned with paintings and the handwritten tale of an altar boy named Willie—who falls in love with a boy\, is then bullied and beaten to near death\, contemplates suicide\, and finally finds the strength to live through artmaking. Interwoven throughout the exhibition will be his luminous towers\, homoerotic Knick Knacks\, and intricate Venetian Glass works\, along with timeless ephemera in the form of handwritten flyers\, photo-booth portraits\, and direct source materials\, illuminating the breath of his work and life. \nIn anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall rebellion\, Tenemental honors Lanigan-Schmidt’s unique contribution to both the language of art and continued struggle for LGBTQ liberation. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalog with essays by Dan Cameron\, Carlo McCormick\, Agosto Machado\, and Roger Wieck\, and well as an interview with Jonathan Weinberg \nThomas Lanigan-Schmidt is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, MoMA\, Brooklyn Museum\, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst\, Ackland Art Museum\, and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art\, among others. He has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe\, including the 1980 and 1984 Venice Biennales\, the 1991 Whitney Biennial\, and the 1999 exhibition The American Century at the Whitney Museum. \nLanigan-Schmidt has been an instructor in the MFA program of the School of Visual Arts in New York City since the mid 80s and has served on the governing board of the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Maine since 1992. In 2011\, he was the recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial grant and in 2017 received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the National Academy of Design. In June 2009\, Lanigan-Schmidt was honored at the White House by President Barack Obama for his courageous participation in the 1969 Stonewall rebellion\, and in 2016 he was the keynote speaker when the Stonewall Inn became a national monument. Lanigan-Schmidt was the subject of the critically acclaimed 2012 retrospective Tender Love Among the Junk at MoMA PS1\, curated by Peter Eleey. \n  \nTHOMAS LANIGAN-SCHMIDT\nDay Time\, Nite Light\, Solitary Drinker (detail)\, c. 1975\nFoil\, plastic\, plastic wrap\, light bulb\, Magic Marker\, wood\, and staples\n39 x 28 x 18 inches \nCollection of Anita Grossman Solomon \n  \nTHOMAS LANIGAN-SCHMIDT\nMysterium Tremendum (detail)\, late 1980s\n125 pans: mixed media on aluminum trays

SUMMARY:William Rand: Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion and Publication Party\n  \nWith Rand and panelists Anthony Gaskin\, Maynard Monrow\, and Sur Rodney (Sur). \nIn William Rand’s paintings\, for example\, one must look to the shadows for information. In fact this oeuvre is a meditation on darkness: a painting in the shade.    —Rene Ricard\, Les Leçons des Ténèbres\, 1989. Hotel Chelsea \nHowl! Happening is pleased to host a panel discussion in honor of William Rand Four Decades\, the artist’s monograph chronicling his prolific career. Encompassing four decades of work\, with poetry by Rand as well as essays penned by his close friends\, the late critic Rene Ricard\, and Suzette McAvoy\, director and curator of the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. \nA marvelous raconteur\, brilliant draftsman\, and sharp-eyed\, searing documentarian\, Rand’s grand-scale black and white paintings chronicle his life and our times. Drawn from eclectic sources—art history\, geopolitics\, literature\, sports\, nature\, pop culture\, current events—his imagery seduces with its intoxicating mix of beauty and decadence\, highbrow and lowbrow.  \nWe want to be at this party.     —Suzette McAvoy\, Director\, Center for Maine Contemporary Art \nContributors include: Dennis Adamo\, Anthony Gaskin\, Jeffrey Goldberg\, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders\, Silvia Silveira Laguna\, Felix Leiro\, Philip M. Isaacson\, Suzette McAvoy\, Taylor Mead\, Maynard Monrow\, Inés Lopéz-Quesada\, William Baker Rand\, Rene Ricard\, Earle G. Shettleworth Jr.\, Bill Stelling\, and Haynes Sprunt Tate. \n  \nWilliam Baker Rand Four Decades  \nEssay by Rene Ricard\, Osprey Publishing\, 2018  \n128 pages\, case bound\, 6-color plates throughout\, 11 x 11”  \nCovering four decades of the artist’s work in Maine\, New York\, East Berlin\, and Spain\, the large black-and-white paintings\, and large\, often sexualized figures of this monograph engage with historical vertigo. \nAbout William Baker Rand \nInset image: The Guest Mooring\, 2017 © 2018 William Rand/ARS NY
