2. Penny Arcade, FF Alumn, at LaMama, Manhattan, March 5
On March 5 2022 LaMama’s Coffeehouse Chronicles will celebrate 54 years of Penny Arcade’s performance from 1968 till the present (and beyond) From her beginnings as teenage member of the explosive Playhouse of The Ridiculous, the seminal queer glitter glam political rock and roll theatre, to her stint as a teenaged super star for Andy Warhol’s Factory to her emergence as a primal force in NY’s performance art movement of the 1980’s to her long standing international career as an icon of artistic resistance.
Working class, ethnic, and not model tall, Arcade was the other New York City girl: hardworking and obscure, with a considerable chip on her shoulder, all of which she transformed into art. Her primary subject has always been herself, and the will it took to crack Manhattan’s class-conscious art scene. Once installed, though, Arcade never relaxed. She continues to critique the very world that now considers her a legend.

Dear Fearnds,
I am ThRiLtT to say Weirdo Night is coming back to Zebulon Feb 20th after taking Januweary off in order to see how much more I could take of me. Apparently I am done! Cooked! Time to to get out of my house and head and onto the stage where I be long. Back to cervicing the public what they deserve, adding insults to injury to all of your sensitive digestive systems and lighting your vision boards on fire with my mean spirited success. I also have some new drawings and paintings in a radical new show at Leslie Lohman Museum in NYC. And I got some new merchandise, gorgeosuo new tee and tote (more totes kill me kill me) with a lyric from the DH song “I Can’t Wait” – about not wanting the experience, just the memories… A standard truth for me.
I hope to see you this weekend if you have any soul left after attending art fairs and gagging on the bourgeois lifestyle idea industrial complex!!!!!
Ragefully yers + muah!!!!!!!

#Sergina’s Desperately Delicious Dirty Data Delivery & Dissemination is a new work created for this exhibition out of 209 responses gathered from #Sergina’s Participatory Soap Opera about Wrestling with Wellbeing in the Digital Age and other performances that took place between June 2019 and January 2022, offline and online. In each performance the same set of questions was asked to participants about how they were feeling – with some open ended answers, others multiple choice, with response options taken from #Sergina’s song lyrics.
The data is displayed in limited edition, hard copy form/at and is for sale at a price you name: a rubber stamp will authenticate your purchase. In person sales only.
#Sergina’s Dirty Data was handled by Berlin based multi-disciplinary artist and researcher Kit Kuksenok, and Python and has been outputted in four strict orderings: alphabetical; length of answer, by each question and their chronologically logged answers, and by sentient (depressed to happy) as mostly decided by the machine.
The exhibition is free to attend with no registration necessary. It would be a delight to see you. After two years of zoom it is very exciting to put things in an actual physical space again. This will be my first IRL exhibition in London in over a decade, so do come and say hi. I will be there most days, but get in touch if you want to make sure. On the eve of Friday 25th I will be doing a live performance.
Thanks for reading! And also hello to new humans on this list, whose signed up at one of #Sergina’s performances. Happy to have you here.
Best wishes from North London,
Elly

Galerie Lelong
Upcoming Michelle Stuart:
The Imprints of Time: 1969-2021
February 24 – March 26, 2022
Opening Thursday, February 24, from 10:00am to 7:00pm
The artist will be in attendance from 5:00pm
Galerie Lelong & Co., New York is pleased to announce the opening of The Imprints of Time: 1969-2021. Since the 1960s, Michelle Stuart (b. 1933, Los Angeles, CA) has created pioneering works that synthesize Land Art, drawing, photography, painting, and sculpture. As one of the few female land artists of her generation, Stuart’s relation to the earth and mark-making also diverges from male contemporaries in capturing “the handwriting of nature.” The exhibition will present a survey from the late 1960s to the present, including works on paper, sculpture, and photography that highlight the site-specificity of her practice as well as the indexical nature of her works.
Photography is an impression made by the light surrounding a specific place. Stuart’s work, pointing to sites as far reaching as Machu Picchu, Mesa Verde, and the South Pacific, manifests that by physically engaging in mark-making that brings the material aspects of the site into the work. Often combining drawings and organic material into one work, these impressions through Stuart’s hand coexist on the same picture plane. In Islas Encantadas: Seymour Island Cycle (1981-82), a monumental grid of earth-imbued units coexist in dialogue with photographs of flora and fauna, caught in time.
Four works from Stuart’s series Area-Sayreville, New Jersey (1976) are comprised of paper rubbed with earth from the quarry and framed with a row of photographs from the site. The artist’s incorporation of photography, beginning in the 1960s, is one of the earliest demonstrations of photography in Land Art.
The grid is a recurring formal structure of Stuart’s work, synonymous with the cool detachment of Conceptual Art of the 1960s. However, the rationality imposed by the grid is exceeded by the natural elements contained within. Stuart arranges the components in the same way one would work with line, shape, and form, creating a unified composition but with depth that moves the viewers’ eyes back and forth, as demonstrated in the early work El Florido Chart (1980) and a recent photographic work Creation Myth (2020).
Collapsing time, memory and place, Stuart’s work addresses the metaphysical while remaining profoundly rooted in its own materiality and the artist’s interest in archeology, botany and history. Armed with the curiosity of an Enlightenment explorer, she approaches materials from the earth and nature as a collector and archivist, aiming to contain their energetic potential as well as to underscore their fragility as beacons of the dire environmental crisis we currently face.

Through March 4, 2022
Michelle Stuart has been selected as this year’s Conrad Nelson Fellow by Millersville University’s Eckert Art Gallery. This internationally recognized fellowship is awarded annually to acclaimed and established artists. In the artist’s solo exhibition Penzance (Cornwall) to Paddington (London), Stuart documented her travel through time, space, weather, and light, along the passage of a full English train line. The installation of 345 photographs in a line around the gallery mirrors the rhythm of a railroad track.
