SUMMARY:Installation Art Member Preview: Amanda Ross-Ho
DESCRIPTION:Join Mattress Factory artist-in-residence Amanda Ross-Ho for a special Mattress Factory member preview in celebration of her latest solo exhibition\, Untitled Second Floor (ONE BIG DARK ROOM). Ascend to the fourth floor of 500 Sampsonia to discover her new installation\, then mingle with the artist and fellow members over drinks in the lobby. \nNot a member yet? Support the museum today and gain access to special events like this all year long. \nPlease note that parking is limited at our main lot at 505 Jacksonia Street\, with additional street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood. \n\nAbout Amanda Ross-Ho\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Ross-Ho’s work takes the form of sculptural installations and material environments that propose dynamic and imagined ecologies of labor\, time and the building of speculative archives. Through close observation\, she identifies and brings into form connective tissues between personal and eternal conditions. She builds formal syntax comprised of objects\, images\, and performative gestures mined from personal and collective phenomena\, which aim to inscribe meaning through poetic systems of circuitry and taxonomy. Utilizing conflicting sensibilities of the forensic\, hyperbolic\, and theatrical\, her work aims to function as a sensitive instrument: tuned to carefully observe\, record\, transcribe\, and translate the landscapes of our made and lived-in surroundings. \nAmanda Ross-Ho was born in Chicago in 1975. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Ross-Ho has exhibited widely in museums and galleries worldwide\, including solo exhibitions at Kunsthall Stavanger\, Stavanger\, Norway (2019) Bonner Kunstverein\, Bonn (2017); Vleeshal\, Middelburg (2016); Praz-Delavallade\, Paris (2015); The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Cleveland (2014); and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (2012). Her work has been included in group exhibitions at The Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis (2016); Orange County Museum of Art\, Newport Beach (2011); Henry Art Gallery\, Seattle (2010); the Museum of Modern Art\, New York (2010); the Whitney Biennial\, New York (2008); among many other institutions. \nThis exhibition is made possible by Teiger Foundation.

SUMMARY:Member Preview: Greer Lankton: Could It Be Love
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Francis Schichtel and Jordan Weitzman \nCould It Be Love presents an intimate and powerful photographic survey of Greer Lankton (1958–1996)\, the legendary East Village artist known for her uncannily lifelike dolls and fearless exploration of gender\, beauty\, and the body. Featuring 24 rarely seen photographs of her iconic dolls\, taken by Lankton herself\, this exhibition reveals her uncanny ability to imbue life into her sculpted figures as they lounge\, gossip\, and perform across New York’s gritty and gorgeous downtown scene. \nThis exhibition celebrates Lankton not only as a trailblazing trans artist but also as a completely original image-maker whose lens captured a world of oddballs\, queer icons\, and doll-like doppelgängers with equal parts glamour\, melancholy\, and wit. Presented in partnership with Magic Hour Press\, Could It Be Love follows the release of the first major monograph on Lankton’s photographic work. \nDiscover the new exhibition\, then mingle with fellow members over drinks in the lobby. \nNot a member yet? Support the museum today and gain access to special events all year long. \nPlease note: parking is limited at our main lot at 505 Jacksonia Street\, with additional street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood. \nAbout Greer Lankton\nGreer Lankton (1958 – 1996) was one of the most significant artists to have taken part in the revolutionary art scene of New York City’s East Village during the 1980s. Lankton grew up in Park Forest\, IL\, where she graduated a year early from high school to attend the Art Institute of Chicago from 1975 to 1978. That year\, she moved to New York City and received her BFA from Pratt Institute in 1981. By then\, Lankton had secured her reputation as a leading figure in the social ferment of NYC in the 1980s through her visceral doll sculptures and now lesser-known performances and minimalist soft sculptures. \nLankton’s drawings are frequently compared to those of the expressionist Egon Schiele\, her dolls\, and their photographic portraits as well as those of surrealist Hans Bellmer. Her experimental and multimedia works are located within a history of transfeminism\, avant-garde performance\, and even pop-art\, while at the same time equally situated within a neo-punk canon and the Trash Trilogy of John Waters films – Pink Flamingos being her favorite. \nLankton’s exhibitions and performances included those at PS1\, Club 57\, Pyramid Club\, Franklyn Furnace\, Civilian Warfare Gallery\, Hal Bromm\, and the Whitney Biennale\, NYC. She also exhibited across the US and Europe\, including the UK\, Austria\, and the Venice Biennale\, Italy. She exhibited her first full-scale installation artwork at the Mattress Factory Museum shortly before her untimely death in 1996. \nAbout the monograph “Could It Be Love”\nEdited by Nan Goldin\, Francis Schichtel\, and Jordan Weitzman\, the book draws deeply from the Greer Lankton Archive\, housed at Mattress Factory\, to present over 100 of Lankton’s rarely seen photographs. These images offer an intimate and theatrical glimpse into Lankton’s inner world\, one populated by glamorous oddballs\, downtown legends\, and avatars of her own making. \nThis exhibition is made possible by Teiger Foundation.
