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:HURRAH! NYC: Night One
DESCRIPTION:Two Evenings Salute the Seminal Nightclub Hurrah \nHosted by John Phillips \nA flashpoint of the “downtown” music scene—though located on 62nd Street—Hurrah was the first large dance club to feature punk\, new wave\, and industrial music. With his finger on the pulse of the behind the scenes action as the longtime Doorman/Greeter of Hurrah from its genesis in the late 70s to its closing in 1981\, John Phillips hosts two evenings that launch an ongoing series paying tribute to the legendary club’s history.  \nOf particular note\, it was the first club to regularly feature music videos\, positioning monitors throughout the club (see Merrill Aldighieri’s world premiere videos screening below). Mixing it up as a showcase for bands from England—many at the earliest stages of their careers—the club was notorious for nurturing talent like the B-52s\, The Cure\, Johnny Thunders\, Klaus Nomi\, Tuxedomoon\, 8-Eyed Spy with Lydia Lunch\, Mission to Burma\, The Ramones\, Bauhaus and many others.  \n  \nPhotographer George Dubose \nGeorge DuBose would often go out after his workday apprenticeship for two Manhattan fashion photographers and document the scene at various nightclubs. Hurrah’s\, Max’s Kansas City\, the Mudd Club and Studio 54 were all his turf. Photographing the B52s debut concert at Max’s led DuBose to a career as an art director and photographer for over 300 covers of music packaging. His clients ranged from the Ramones (12 years and dozens of covers) to the Notorious B.I.G.’s first professional photo shoot. \nFor Howl!\, Dubose presents video projections of color and black and white images taken by George DuBose at the legendary nightclub. The images include performance images of Klaus Nomi\, Chris Spedding\, Richard Strange and Pylon from Athens\, Georgia. Also included are photos of celebrities and soon-to-become celebrities. \n I never take it as an insult when people say they don’t like an idea\, says Dubose. I take pictures for the artists and I don’t forget that. It’s a poignant truth that has defined Dubose’s career and his success as one of music’s best-known photographers\, a man who captured new wave\, punk\, and hip-hop with an uncanny eye. —Fact Magazine

SUMMARY:HURRAH! NYC: Night Two
DESCRIPTION:HURRAH! NYC \nTwo Evenings Salute the Seminal Nightclub Hurrah \nHosted by John Phillips \nA flashpoint of the “downtown” music scene—though located on 62nd Street—Hurrah was the first large dance club to feature punk\, new wave\, and industrial music. With his finger on the pulse of the behind the scenes action as the longtime Doorman/Greeter of Hurrah from its genesis in the late 70s to its closing in 1981\, John Phillips hosts two evenings that launch an ongoing series paying tribute to the legendary club’s history.  \nOf particular note\, it was the first club to regularly feature music videos\, positioning monitors throughout the club (see Merrill Aldighieri’s world premiere videos screening below).

Paying tribute to all the great doormen at the height of the nighclubbing craze\, the opening film\, Getting In (33 minutes)\, is a mash-up of true stories from Hurrah doormen and screen tests by iconic 80s actors. Included in the casting call are Steve Buscemi\, Barbara Gogin\, Illeana Douglas\, May Pang\, Howie Montaug\, and George Wrage\, who all auditioned for a fictional film about nightlife through the eyes of doormen.  \nThe second film\, Mission in Burmaland (60 minutes) features highlights from 4 concerts of the Boston band Mission of Burma. Interviews of the trio are interwoven in a visually embellished musical tapestry. The brilliant atonal abrasive feedback\, clever sound effect loops\, cultured lyrics and pop riffs make this band original and timeless. \nOpening the show will be a photographic “Happening” with images shot and presented by Ebet Roberts\, and a slow-motion mosaic study of flash frames of bands on the Hurrah stage\, including New Order\, Tuxedomoon\, Richard Hell & the Raybeats\, The Modettes and Strange Party. Adding to the evening will be a mixed DJ tape of a set by Geoff Brown\, digitally remastered by invited guest and co-owner of Hurrah\, Barbara Lackey Clifford Finch.  \nWatch more of Aldighieri’s VJ Diaries

SUMMARY:Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt Catalogue Launch and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening invites you to join culture critics\, art historians and curators for the publication of the catalogue for Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt’s Tenemental (With Sighs Too Deep for Words). A compendium of wide ranging essays and criticism\, the 106-page catalogue is Howl!’s most ambitious publication to date. Meet the artist and writers to celebrate Tommy’s multivalent work and life including contributors Dan Cameron; David Carter; Carlo McCormick; Roger S. Wieck; Jonathan Weinberg; and Agosto Machado. Published in association with Pavel Zoubok Fine Art. \n  \nRoger S. Wieck\, Melvin R. Seiden Curator and Department Head of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts\, Morgan Library & Museum\, discusses the dual themes that appear and reappear throughout Lanigan-Schmidt’s work: religion and childhood in his Essay Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt: The Art of Transubstantiation. \n  \nDan Cameron looks at the shifting perspectives of art historical perceptions and placement of the work in the context of Pattern and Decoration and AIDS in The Least Shall be Greatest. Art historian Jonathan Weinberg provides a penetrating interview with Lanigan Schmidt—who was a veteran of the Stonewall Riots and was present in the Stonewall Inn on June 28\, 1969—about his work in Art after Stonewall\, 1969-89. Timed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots\, the exhibition opens at the Grey Art Gallery and The Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in April 2019. \n  \nDavid Carter’s insightful essay provides a deeper look at Tommy’s roots and family\, and offers biographical clues into Tommy’s psyche and creative process; and Carlo McCormick brings his perspective as a commentator and curator spanning decades of lived experience in the shifting downtown art and cultural scenes to understanding Lanigan-Schmidt’s layered work and his place inside and outside of fluctuating art and social movements.  \n
