SUMMARY:Marguerite Van Cook\, James Romberger\, and ClockWork Cros The Nuclear Family
DESCRIPTION:At times we choose to collaborate\, at other times we work alone\, but we always work\, and we are always a family. \nNo strangers to controversy\, in the exhibition at Howl! Happening this multi-generational group takes on personal\, local\, real world and art world politics through a visual lexicon of familial codes. The exhibition features James Romberger’s drawings\, Van Cook’s paintings and installations\, and ClockWork Cros’ mixed media installations. \nThe show presents individual and collaborative works from a family of New York-based artists and illuminates a complex interaction in which elements from the artists’ private lives flow between their works. The discourse is domestic; it resides within their common home and also informs issues from the greater social and national/international spheres. The exhibition explores the meaning of history\, memory and personal experiences that move between a larger past and a more intimate present. What is revealed through this celebration of individual and collective expression is a subtle flow of familial dialogues\, unspoken conversations and collective taste. Elements of each artist’s practice can be found in the work of the others. \nWhile each artist’s works are unique\, there are happy agreements\, affordances and mutual pleasures. All the same\, their lives are not free from artistic anxieties. In part\, this show explores what it means to be “happy” and how we exist within and without society. It looks at concepts of pleasure\, luxury and the construction of comfort. The constitution after all guarantees the pursuit of happiness\, but perhaps not for artists who choose to comment on society. \nJames Romberger’s masterfully drawn\, closely-observed pastels of cityscapes and remembered travels tell the extraordinary story of his interest in place and people. While Romberger is known for his critical gaze\, alternately\, in certain recent works he discovers sublimity in the shadows. His stunning use of light speaks to a romantic impulse that aggravates the realism of his depictions. In his still life drawings\, one sees the strong traces of his familial relationships and a clever commentary on the social influences that inform home life. \nMarguerite Van Cook’s new work connects memory\, love and anxiety as it revisits her interest in the tensions and conflicts between men and women and the complicated roles of mother and artist. She utilizes elements from home life: fabrics\, wallpapers and the objects that embody the domestic\, to test the boundaries of motherhood and personhood\, particularly as the maternal figure has been understood historically—and forgotten—as a revolutionary force. She explores the philosophies of comfort and discomfort\, of pleasure and anxiety through her paintings\, prints and multi-media installations. \nClockWork Cros is a Surrealist clockmaker whose work with the dimensions of time and personality raises complex questions about celebrity\, achievement and the face as modern totem. Elegant\, modern and contemporary\, his clocks challenge ideas about disposability\, longevity and reputation. The clocks explore the consumption of celebrity\, even as the artist also includes inspirational figures such as scientist and artists—a move that reframes the question of human worth. His work for this exhibition positions itself in the space of discontent and revolution and is both historical and current. Post-post-modern\, it sails across media platforms and technology\, but also looks back to a time of the handmade. \n

SUMMARY:When Jackie Met Ethyl Curated by Dan Cameron
DESCRIPTION:When Jackie Met Ethyl\nGuest curated by Dan Cameron \nThis exhibition considers the cultural and historical impact of Jackie Curtis (1947-1985) and Ethyl Eichelberger (1945-1990) two of the most influential figures from the East Village’s heyday as a cauldron of transgressive gender-twisting performance. Although both came from the same generation and shared an overlapping support base\, an instinctive feminist outlook\, and a deep grounding in the absurd\, Curtis and Eichelberger were very different figures\, and are not believed to have known each other personally. \nJackie Curtis was born John Curtis Holder\, Jr. on the Lower East Side\, and mostly raised by his maternal grandmother\, known as Slugger Ann\, whose eponymous bar on 2nd Avenue was a well-known refuge for social misfits. A member of Andy Warhol’s original network of Superstars — along with Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn –\, Curtis’ stage debut was at age 17 in Tom Eyen’s Miss Nefertiti Regrets\, followed by roles in the Paul Morrissey films Flesh (1968) and Women in Revolt (1971). Aside from possessing a mesmerizing screen presence\, Curtis’ greatest artistic influence was as playwright and songwriter for the productions Glamour\, Glory and Gold; Vain Victory; and Heaven Grand in Amber Orbit\, all of which featured transsexual characters. The Jackie Curtis signature ‘look’ — glitter and lipstick combined with ripped stockings and/or housedresses – was widely adopted in the 1970s and 1980s\, and in 2004 the documentary Superstar in a Housedress brought the Curtis legend to a new generation. \nEthyl Eichelberger was born James Roy Eichelberger in rural Illinois\, and spent much of his first thirty years studying acting and working in regional repertory theater\, eventually becoming an expert wigmaker and member of Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company. In 1975 he legally changed his first name to Ethyl and introduced a flamboyant stage presence\, singing while playing piano and accordion\, and radically re-conceiving classic characters like King Lear and Medea as drag cabaret. Although Eichelberger appeared in films\, Broadway theater productions\, and an HBO series for kid\, and was a successful commercial actor\, his main impact was as a performer in intimate East Village venues like P.S. 122\, Pyramid Lounge\, 8BC\, and s.n.a.f.u.. In the course of more than thirty original and adapted plays\, his was nearly always the title role\, often with multiple male and female characters switching parts\, and occasional acrobatic or circus stunts thrown in for equal measure. \nWhen Jackie Met Ethyl will feature a number of different media\, key among them video documentation – by Nelson Sullivan\, among others — of plays\, poetry and songs written and performed by the two artists\, along with script excerpts\, props and memorabilia from productions of these and other performances. Also included are images of Eichelberger and Curtis by photographers Peter Hujar\, Dona McAdams\, Jack Mitchell\, Billy Sullivan\, Ande Whyland\, and Kirila Faeh\, to demonstrate how the legacy of these two artists continues to influence culture\, When Jackie Met Ethyl will also include the 1994 sculpture\, Big Round Flat\, from A Flower for Ethyl series\, by Oliver Herring\, and recent interpretations of Curtis’ and Eichelbergers’ work by contemporary artists. \nThe accompanying publication will include an introductory essay by curator Dan Cameron\, along with texts by Penny Arcade\, Brian Butterick\, Joe E. Jeffreys\, Robert Heide\, Craig Highberger\, Agosto Machado\, and Joan Moossy. \n
