  • Mayumi Lake “Latent Heat” at Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery
    Mayumi Lake “Latent Heat” at Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery The ideas behind Lake’s atmospheric photography are primarily inspired by her life experiences. Born in Osaka, Japan, Lake was conditioned to hold back her true feelings in a society where spoken and unspoken protocols for women are still significant. Since her move to the United States two decades ago, she has investigated sexuality and female archetypes with both humor and irony throughout her work. After March 2011, when Lake witnessed unparalleled disasters in her homeland caused by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, she was too overwhelmed to create any new work for a while. Around the same time, Lake experienced several personal losses including a family member’s mysterious illness and the sudden, unexpected death of a close friend. These life events eventually inspired Lake to create a new series full of ominous feelings. “Latent Heat,” Lake’s newest (and most sinister) series reflects upon those difficult years in an attempt to apprehend other people’s suffering and accept their ultimate fate. Lake states: “These horrific events, unfolding through the media daily in my birthplace, and the uneasiness and apprehension associated with loss and grieving began to merge together, to synchronize. I was the vortex, the meeting space of several disconnected events that formed a personal sense of tragic ending; a belief akin to the fated sense of despair associated with the end date of the Mayan calendar. I began to think, and even truly believe in a single fated day for the end of all things.” Mayuni Lake Latent Heat (It’s Alright #141199), 2014, Pigment print, 27 x 36 Latent Heat (It’s Alright #141199), 2014, Pigment print, 27 x 36 Latent Heat (Hunch #4984), 2014, Pigment print, 24 x 36 Mayumi Lake Latent Heat (Will-o’-the-Wisp #4451), 2014, Pigment print, 24 x 36 Mayumi Lake exhibition at Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery ABOUT THE ARTIST Mayumi Lake studied photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.

    1 A Preservationist's Guide to the Harems, Seraglios, and Houses of Love of Manhattan: The 19th Century New York City Brothel in Two Neighborhoods Angela Serratore Advisor: Ward Dennis Readers: Chris Neville, Jay Shockley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture,Planning,and Preservation Columbia University May 2013 2 Table of Contents 2 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 Part I: History Brothel History 8 Neighborhood Histories 45 Part II: Interpretation Theoretical Challenges 60 Site-Specific Challenges/Case Studies 70 Conclusions 97 Appendices Interpretive Methods 99 Additional Maps and Photos 116 3 Acknowledgements Profuse thanks to my advisor, Ward Dennis, who shepherded this project on its journey from half-formed idea into something legible, productive, and fun to write. I'm also indebted to my readers, Chris Neville and Jay Shockley, for getting as excited about this project as I've been. The staff at the New York Historical Society let me examine a brothel guidebook that hadn't yet been catalogued, which was truly thrilling. Jacqueline Shine, Natasha Vargas-Cooper, and Michelle Legro listened patiently as I talked about 19th century prostitution without complaint. My classmates Jonathan Taylor and Amanda Mullens did the same. The entire staff of Lapham's Quarterly picked up the slack when I was off looking for treasure at various archives. My parents, Peter Serratore and Gina Giambalvo-Glockler, let me fly to their houses to write, in two much-needed escapes from New York. They also proudly tell friends and colleagues all about this thesis without blushing, for which I will always be grateful.
