    JAMES KELLY CONTEMPORARY - PRESS RELEASE 1611 Paseo de Peralta - Santa Fe, NM 87501 TEL: 505-989-1601 MATT MAGEE: Recent Paintings and Sculpture Reception for the artist: Friday, August 29, 2014, 5:00-7:00 PM Exhibition Dates: August 29 – October 25, 2014 Contact: James Kelly [email protected] Matt Magee, Locus, 2013, Oil on panel, 10 x 16-1/4 inches unframed. Santa Fe, NM -- James Kelly Contemporary is pleased to present the gallery’s first exhibition by Matt Magee. This exhibition will consist of recent works by the artist, including approximately fifteen paintings and four sculptures. Matt Magee moved to the Arizona in 2012 after living in New York City for 30 years. Magee completed the paintings and sculptures shown in this exhibition since moving to southwest two years ago. Magee worked as an archivist for Robert Rauschenberg for 18 years. Before that, as a young adult, he drove a seismic truck in Laredo, Texas, recording vibrations sent into the earth to collect data about underlying geologic formations. His paintings often resemble charts and graphs of collected information, or tablets and iPads with data read-outs. As an archivist, he filled in spreadsheets with inventory numbers and as an artist he fills in these very same grids with paint in works such as Ledger, Xantrion and Stillwater. These paintings also reference how light reflects off the surface of glass skyscrapers and water, and the life implicit behind the glass or under the water. The paint is the information. The pictorial language in Magee's work includes things both observed and imagined.

    Transfer Drawings from the 1960s Drawings from Transfer ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Transfer Drawings from the 1960s ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Transfer Drawings from the 1960s FEBRUARY 8– MARCH 17, 2007 41 EAST 57TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10022 FOREWORD For me, a roomful of Robert Rauschenberg's “Transfer” drawings from the 1960s evokes a powerful sense of dèjà vu. It's a complicated flash from the past, dense with images and newspaper headlines drawn from the events of the time. Saturn 5 rockets, Apache helicopters, ads for spark plugs, photos of astronauts mix with pictures of motorcycles, flashcubes, wristwatches and razor blades, all taken out of their original contexts and reworked into a web of startling new associations by an artist with a keen sense of popular history heightened by irony and a profound wit. Rauschenberg is like a mollusk in the sea of time, filtering and feeding upon everything that passes through his awareness and transforming it to suit his own ends, like an oyster secreting a pearl. He selects images from popular media as signifiers—telling icons of who we Americans are as a people, a nation and a culture. And the new linkages he creates make us question our assumptions about our identity: where did we come from, what do we really care about, where are we going? Rauschenberg's smart, deliberative art mirrors the American character: self-questioning and proud, defiant and wondering, but always hopeful. It is a great pleasure to re-familiarize the public with these drawings, important both artistically and historically. Many of them are being shown in the United States for the first time since they were originally exhibited in Paris at Galerie Ileana Sonnabend in 1968.

  • QUEER UTOPIA and REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, and SHAME in DRAG PERFORMANCE by Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to C
    QUEER UTOPIA AND REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, AND SHAME IN DRAG PERFORMANCE By Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Eszter Timár Second Reader: Erzsébet Barát CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Abstract This thesis discusses the critical and queer utopian potential of two performances by Ongina and Alaska Thunderfuck - two contemporary American drag queens. Based on Ongina’s “Beautiful” lip-sync performance and Alaska Thunderfuck's “Your Makeup Is Terrible” video clip, I argue that the performance of failure, vulnerability, and shame troubles multiculturalist discourses for their perpetuation of the neoliberal and masculinist values of individual success (chapter 1), authentic autonomy (chapter 2), and proud stable identity (chapter 3). While and because these performances defy the drag genre’s conventions and drive us to reconsider the prevalent forms of resistance to heterosexism, they also engender a queer utopian potential that allows the imagining and experiencing of alternative ethics. I rely on José Esteban Muñoz’s concept of disidentification and Eve Sedgwick’s notions of paranoid and reparative reading to propose queer communitarian bondings that are not radical nor durable but more inclusive and self-transformative. By interpreting ugliness as failure, I argue that in uglifying themselves Ongina and Alaska expose the meritocracy of neoliberalism and suggest an ethics based not on aesthetic pleasure but on a reparative appreciation of the awful that queers the very notion of community for not holding on to stable identities nor individual achievements. Drawing on a Levinasian discussion of vulnerability and care, I discuss how Alaska disidentifies with the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race's deployment of vulnerability as relatable authenticity while suggesting an alternative ethics with which to encounter the Other based on witnessing, risk, and ungraspability.

  • General Editors' Introduction
    General Editors’ Introduction PAISLEY CURRAH and SUSAN STRYKER une 2016 saw the US‐based multinational bank Goldman Sachs flying the J pink, white, and blue transgender flag outside its Manhattan headquarters. It saw the United Nations Human Rights Council passing a resolution to appoint an “Independent Expert” to study violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It saw Pentagon officials announcing the end of the ban on transgender people serving in the US armed forces. No longer occu- pying a position on the margins of civic and economic life, transgender people, it would seem, are increasingly valued as employees, as consumers, as victims in need of saving, and now in the United States, as potential warriors. Valued is right. The recognition of transgender as a source of value, not only for corporations but also for nonprofit sectors that have embraced the rhetoric of the market, has become a popular theme for the ideologues of the current capitalist moment. Whether rescuing trans “victims,” profiting from the creativity of gender‐diverse employees, or carving out new transgender‐specific consumer markets, the neoliberal creed now presents discrimination against trans (and GLB) people as “an enormous waste of human potential, of talent, of cre- ativity, of productivity, that weighs heavily on society and on the economy” (Park 2015: 1). As the head of the largest GLBT advocacy group in the United States explained at the Davos World Economic Forum, “Around the world, businesses have far outpaced lawmakers in embracing the basic premise that the hard work and talents of all their employees—regardless of who they are or whom they love—are rewarded fairly in their workplaces.

  • “It's Not Personal, It's Drag”: the Sassy Politics of Rupaul's Drag Race
    Felipe González Silva 2078621G MLitt Film and Television Studies Dissertation – September 2015 “It’s Not Personal, It’s Drag”: The Sassy Politics of RuPaul’s Drag Race Supervised by Professor Karen Lury University of Glasgow Word count: 14,840 Beneficiario COLFUTURO 2014 Abstract After the success of reality competition shows such as Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model in the United States, RuPaul’s Drag Race reached the small screen to be the first TV programme of its kind to feature drag queens. Through textual analysis and theories of queer and feminist studies, this thesis joins the fundamental debates about drag and its role in society. With these debates as a starting point, this thesis is dedicated to determining the position of Drag Race within the tension between gay politics and queer politics that lies in the programme’s construction of what drag is supposed to be. By focusing on the relation of masculinity and femininity in drag, and on the role of sleaziness in drag, this thesis argues that RuPaul’s Drag Race refuses to be located unequivocally as a project of either gay or queer politics. This reading does not only propose an innovative take on the programme but it also manages to further problematise the distinction between the two “kinds” of politics. Key words: RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag, gay politics, queer politics, femininity, masculinity, sleaziness, gender, race ii Acknowledgements I would like to show gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Karen Lury. Her impressive knowledge and sensibility about television and academia in general, along with her commitment to my project, helped me develop this dissertation successfully.

Drag Race continues to become more profitable and successful by the year and arguably shapes cultural ideas of queer performances in manifold ways. This project investigates the impacts of exploitative labour practices that emerge from the show, the commodification of drag when represented on screen, and how the show influences drag and queer performances off screen.

Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise.
