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:Through the Looking Glass: Scooter LaForge & Brett De Palma at NADA Miami
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Through the Looking Glass\, an installation of fearless and masterful paintings by Brett De Palma and Scooter LaForge. Through the Looking Glass marries two important painters’ vivid interpretations of our current upside down and bewildering world. Paralleling Lewis Carroll’s phantasmagorical satire that so poignantly skewered Victorian England\, De Palma and LaForge’s layered allegorical paintings ridicule\, expose\, and critique the foolishness\, corruption\, vices\, and villains in society around them.  \nDe Palma and LaForge blend seamlessly in this installation. De Palma’s large painted tarp propels a visual narrative overlaid with LaForge’s metaphors. Their collaborative work breaks out of stylistic conventions to forge dense new visual territory. In a world with an overabundance of fear\, anger\, and inequity\, their psychedelic tapestry offers humorous critique and laughter as a way to build consensus and community for our absurd times. December 6–9\, 2018 / NADA Miami / Booth 10.26  \n  \nBrett De Palma Through the Looking Glass\, Darkly \nBrett De Palma’s large (9 x 16’) painted tarp\, Through the Looking Glass\, Darkly\, mirrors the epic Lewis Carroll satirical novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in an American context. In this updated version\, Alice experiences\, as if in a dream\, an American political ecosystem from RFK’s assassination to Trump’s balloon of tweets\, while a giant raven floats over a world of imperial monarchy.   \n  \nOn the other side of the mirror\, Alice moves with the sleep of reason through the stages of aging\, both of the individual as well as empire. This absurd tale about the confusion produced by authoritarian upside down and backwards logic reveals parallels between then and now. With brash color and Pollock-like drips over two worlds of stars and stripes and a checkered ground\, the poetic painting appears like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle\, confusing time and space and morphing style and scale. Brimming with the menace of friendly monsters such as the Jabberwock and Humpty Dumpty\, Alice is heroically tested in an empire of would-be kings and queens.  \n  \nAfter passing through trials of nonsense and disorientation\, Alice becomes queen. This empowerment may be an illusion only obtainable in a fantasy world—leaving the viewer wondering if “life is but a dream.” \n  \nScooter LaForge \nSimilarly\, for LaForge\, fairy tales and allegory dance together in works that draw from such diverse sources as Mannerist and old master paintings\, comic books\, cartoons\, and pop culture. Like all good fairy tales\, his paintings may first appear funny\, playful\, and light. But appearances can be deceiving. What is below their richly painted surfaces can be very sinister indeed.  \n  \nA mash-up of huge expressionist gestures against impossibly delicate paint handling\, La Forge’s paintings are both powerful and exquisitely finessed. And like the Mannerists who created their own aesthetic while commenting on the social upheaval in 16th century Venice\, LaForge’s new body of work is informed by current events—a fantasy of imaginary creatures and magic—full of ambiguity and dreamlike visions that invoke pleasure by their painterly appeal\, but also an edge of danger or menace that mirrors the tension of living on the dark side of troubling times. \n  \nNADA Miami / December 6–9\, 2018 / Booth 10.26\nIce Palace Studios\, 1400 North Miami Avenue  \n  \nVIP Preview by Invitation: Thursday\, December 6\, 10 AM–2 PM\nOpening Preview by Invitation: Thursday\, December 6\, 12–2 PM\n\nOpen to the Public\nThursday\, December 6\, 2–7 PM\nFriday\, December 7\, 11 AM–7 PM\nSaturday\, December 8\, 11 AM–7 PM\nSunday\, December 9\, 11 AM–5 PM\n\nThe New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is the definitive non-profit arts organization dedicated to the cultivation\, support\, and advancement of new voices in contemporary art. newartdealers.org

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

SUMMARY:Pixie Aventura and Catalyst Quartet: To DRAG & BACH
DESCRIPTION:Pixie Aventura and Catalyst Quartet \n\nHowl! Happening is pleased to present the Catalyst Quartet and famed drag queen spitfire Pixie Aventura for a transformative evening and experience the music of Bach like you’ve never heard it before. \n“When we set out to innovate Bach’s iconic Goldberg Variations by arranging it for string quartet\, we were faced with limitless possibilities\,” say Jessie Montgomery. “One of the amazing aspects of the piece is how Bach transforms a single bass line into almost two hours of music.” Taking the concept of transformation one step further the Catalyst Quartet explores the world of drag with a side by side performance and behind the scenes drag transformation. \nCatalyst Quartet members are Jessie Montgomery\, Karla Donehew Perez\, Paul Laraia\, and Karlos Rodriguez. \n \nAbout the Catalyst Quartet \nHailed by the New York Times at their Carnegie Hall debut as “invariably energetic and finely burnished…playing with earthy vigor\,” Catalyst Quartet is comprised of top laureates and alumni of the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Competition. Known for “rhythmic energy\, polyphonic clarity and tight ensemble-playing\,” the ensemble has toured throughout the United States and abroad\, including sold-out performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC\, at Chicago’s Harris Theater\, Miami’s New World Center and Stern Auditorium at Carnegie hall. The quartet has also appeared as concerto soloists with the Bogata Filharmonica\, the Sphinx Virtuosi\, and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.  Read More.
