VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES Press Release Karl Haendel Double VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES Press Release Karl Haendel Double Dominant January 25– March 7, 2020 Part I Opening Reception: Saturday, January 25, 4 – 7 pm Part II Opening Reception: Saturday, February 15, 6 – 8 pm Vielmetter Los Angeles is excited to announce Double Dominant, an exhibition of new drawings by Karl Haendel. This suite of 24 monumental drawings will be presented in two parts. Part one, made up the first twelve drawings, will open January 25 with a reception from 4- 7pm; part two, a re-hang of the show with twelve 1700 S Santa Fe Ave #101 Los Angeles, CA 90021 +1 213 623 3280 vielmetter.com new drawings, will open on February 15 with a reception from 6 – 8pm. A volume reproducing the complete set of works, published by Triangle Books with an essay by Natilee Harren, will accompany the exhibition. We asked the artist to share his thoughts on the work: “The first Double Dominant drawing I made was of Emily’s hand. I was thinking about intermingling my touch with hers–a kind of shared tactility and intimacy. And I knew drawing my wife’s hand (now ex-wife, but that’s a long and different story) at this huge scale had something to do with power. Subsuming myself in a sense. When finished, the drawing was a strange force in the room. It was of course a kind of portrait, but it also occupied the room as if it were its own embodied sculptural presence. But the interplay of touch, intimacy, and power that got me to that first drawing was likely not going to transmit to the audience (and not their business anyway–best left for our therapist). It was more exciting as a portrait of an artist, by another artist, as an uncanny personified appendage. I make art with my dominant hand, and I can represent another artist through the hand that they make their art with. Using my time and labor to honor another’s labor, be it physical or intellectual, is a kind of service or homage. Unconsciously, this might have been my motive all along, because from the start I was focused on drawing only Emily’s dominant hand–the hand that makes her work. It was about the two of us as artists. Soon after this realization, I went to the movies with Miljohn and I brought my camera, fitted with a ring flash, and took some pictures of his dominant hand before the show. The next week I stopped by Walead’s studio to chat and did the same. I only spent about 5 or 10 minutes taking the pictures; I was not fussy. So that’s how the project began. Just taking quick pictures of my friends’ dominant hands to use for drawings. After I had 8 or 9 of these drawings done I realized I was making a group portrait of sorts, all LA artists of roughly the same generation. So then I had to get a little curatorial moving forward, and decided to keep it to artists whose work does it for me–has a kind of grand vision and complexity that I respond to. And with that in mind I expanded the project to include some artists in town who I didn’t know that well but whose work inspired me. It seemed as good a reason as any to get in contact, and I’m honored that nearly everybody I contacted was up for being included in the project. If you take a quick glance at one of these drawings, it looks like a right and left hand. Look more closely and you realize that’s not the case–it’s the same hand, and it’s somehow interleaved with itself. It looks right, but then, it’s clearly wrong. To get this effect I digitally cut up the photos and spliced them together to make impossible combinations, and then drew the resultant compositions. I like to make work that seems normal at first glance but on closer inspection is really weird (which isn’t a bad description of me). I don’t fetishize artists hands or their touch (although I’m well aware others do). I fetishize their minds. I primarily keep the company of artists because the way they see the world excites and perplexes me. They make me feel like the fucked-up way I see the world is somehow a little less fucked-up. And then I feel less alone. So, I don’t make my work for curators or collectors, I make it for other artists. (And sometimes I even make work at artists.) But it’s always about that dialog. If I couldn’t have artists in my life and I couldn’t look at their work, I would have no reason to be an artist. The past few years have been hard for many of us. Just last month I got reclassified with a new nationality, yet all this time I thought I was American. (I know, the trains aren’t here yet. And I have it very easy compared to others.) And art, where I have made my spiritual and professional home for the past 20 years, has decided to become a subset of fashion. What has staved off despair has been my relationships with other artists, who inspire, tolerate, entertain and nurture me. This is ultimately what these drawings are about.” Karl Haendel received his BA from Brown University in 1998 before attending the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He received his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2003. Recent solo and two-person presentations include Mazel Tov Group at the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; Karl Haendel and Tony Lewis, LAXART, Los Angeles, CA; and Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality, Museo del Arte de El Salvador; and Questions for My Father at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Cincinnati, OH and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Salt Lake City, UT. Haendel was included in the 2015 Biennial of the Americas, Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; the 2014 Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the 12th Biennale de Lyon in 2013; and Prospect II, New Orleans in 2011. Haendel’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; Kadist Art Foundation, San Francisco; Perez Art Museum, Miami; the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge; Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Bielefeld; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; La Colección Jumex, Mexico City; and the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo. This is Karl Haendel’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and eleventh in Los Angeles. The gallery is located at 1700 S Santa Fe Avenue, south of the 10 freeway. Parking is available in the south parking lot adjacent to the building. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and by appointment. .

    KARL HAENDEL & JAY DeFEO: PINK CUP AND THE FACTS September 12 – October 14, 2017 1018 Madison Avenue, New York Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 12, 6-8 pm NEW YORK, August 15, 2017 – Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce Pink Cup and The Facts, a two- person exhibition of works on paper by Karl Haendel and Jay DeFeo, on view at 1018 Madison Avenue from September 12 through October 14. The exhibition highlights the importance of drawing in each artist’s practice as well as the varied potential of the medium itself. This will be the gallery’s second exhibition of each artist and the first time the two artists will be exhibited together. The exhibition is an exploratory dialogue between the work of two artists dedicated to the particularities of making drawings. In the process of forming the exhibition, Karl Haendel traveled from Los Angeles to The Jay DeFeo Foundation in Berkeley to spend time immersed in Jay DeFeo’s drawings, examining the range of marks, evidence of pencil hardness, effect of varied pressure, composition, and diverse subject matter in DeFeo’s work, communing with those details through the lens of his own deep experience with the medium. Along with her dexterity across diverse mediums, including painting, photography, photocopy, and collage, Jay DeFeo (1929-1989) consistently devoted herself to meditative and labor-intensive graphite works on paper. The familiar and iconic forms in DeFeo’s oeuvre appear across subject matters and periods, including works from the Tripod, Pink Cup, Compass, and Reflections of Africa series, in which DeFeo found meaning in the studied repetition of a transmuted form over many years.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 14, 2012 THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM PRESENTS THE RESIDUE OF MEMORY WORKS BY 21 INTERNATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ARTISTS EXAMINE HOW OBJECTS AND EXPERIENCES ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH THE PAST On view May 11 through July 15, 2012 Artists: Kristoffer Akselbo, John Baldessari, Andrea Bowers, Phil Collins, Bruce Conner, Roberto Cuoghi, Simon Evans, Lara Favaretto, Paul Graham, Karl Haendel, Susan Hiller, Pierre Huyghe, Friedrich Kunath, Glenn Ligon, Teresa Margolles, Richard Misrach, Richard Prince, Paul Ramirez Jonas, Doris Salcedo, Kaari Upson, and Anna Von Mertens ASPEN, COLORADO—The Aspen Art Museum presents The Residue of Memory, an exhibition featuring 21 internationally significant artists whose work encompasses a variety of media. The exhibition examines the diverse ways events can leave their mark, and how objects and experiences can function as physical traces or intangible points of contact to the past. It is on view May 11 through July 15, 2012, with a reception on June 28. Memory is a paradoxical thing central to the formation of the self, yet it is elusive. Memories become attenuated with the passage of time, yet can come rushing back in an instant under certain conditions. Whether personal or public, illustrative or evocative, ephemeral or concrete, the works in The Residue of Memory collectively engage with such apparent dichotomies as distance and proximity, loss and remembrance, the individual and the universal. BIOGRAPHIES OF THE 21 ARTISTS ARE BELOW.

  • Laxart Receives Awards from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for 2021 Exhibitions
    LAXART RECEIVES AWARDS FROM THE EMILY HALL TREMAINE FOUNDATION AND ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION FOR THE VISUAL ARTS FOR 2021 EXHIBITIONS LOS ANGELES (July 23, 2019) – LAXART is pleased to announce it is the recipient of two awards from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. The awards will enable LAXART to research and present original, timely exhibitions in 2021, including a show focusing on ecofeminist art from 1979 to the present curated by LAXART Deputy Director and Curator Catherine Taft, and MONUMENTS, curated by LAXART Director Hamza Walker and artist Kara Walker. In continuing its mission to promote developments in contemporary culture, LAXART will present these exhibitions and related public programs in multiple locations across Los Angeles, including the nonprofit’s existing space in Hollywood. A $30,000 award from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts will provide critical research support in preparation for Taft’s spring 2021 exhibition surveying four decades of ecofeminist art. An early intersectional movement that identified critical connections between gender oppression and the exploitation of natural resources, ecofeminism evolved out of the environmental, feminist, and anti-nuclear movements of the early 1980s. It was taken up by politically active artists of the time, however, it has been conspicuously absent from historical surveys of the period. In advance of the exhibition, Taft will organize a related symposium at LAXART, bringing together scholars, artists, activists and art historians around the topic. Made possible by the Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award in the amount of $150,000, the exhibition MONUMENTS will feature recently decommissioned statues from throughout the United States sited in public spaces.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Karl Haendel & Walead Beshty: Plug-n-Play October 24th – November 28th, 2009 Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 12:00 – 6:00 pm Opening Reception: Saturday, October 24th 6-8pm Jump to: navigation, search Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols (DCP) built upon open, Internet-based communication standards. The term UPnP is derived from plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically attaching devices directly to a computer, although UPnP is not directly related to the earlier plug-and-play technology. UPnP devices are "plug-and-play" in that when connected to a network they automatically announce their network address and supported device and services types, enabling clients that recognize those types to immediately begin using the device. In computing, plug and play is a term used to describe the characteristic of a computer bus, or device specification, which facilitates the discovery of a hardware component in a system, without the need for physical device configuration, or user intervention in resolving resource conflicts.
