Lichtundfire is pleased to announce “Wonderment of Otherness”, a fall 2021 exhibition of mixed media paintings concerning Queer abstraction by New York City artist Christopher Stout. This will be his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Christopher Stout is a Queer abstract reductivist artist whose work formulates conversations surrounding the notions of radical joy and a vision of Queerness as found in our imaginations. Stout’s works are monochromatic, minimal, and hover between painting and sculpture. His work seeks to provide a portal to envision Queer abstraction as allied with the activist, emancipatory, and groundbreaking responsibilities of the artist/creator to challenge the faceted structural oppressiveness inherent in our hierarchical society. More information to follow. Lichtundfire |

WINTER BENEFIT, a group exhibiton to endow Arcade Project Curatorial's 2021 artistic programming Exhibition Dates: December 18—January 31, 2021 Curator: Arcade Project Curatorial Founder M. Charlene Stevens Exhibition Statement: Arcade Project launched during Armory Week 2016. It began as a concept for a print zine to showcase the talent that surrounded me. Everyone was hustling and working on multiple projects that I believed deserved exposure. Arcade project was created as a platform for visual artists, writers, philosophers, poets, critics, performers and more. The print zine concept was put on hold when the decision was made to build an online presence first. Over the past four years we have published exhibition reviews, artist interviews, covered art fairs, as well as film criticism and some philosophy with a touch of humor. We built and sponsored the Spicy Curtains lounge at Satellite Art Show - Miami and curated Elizabeth Axtman’s Dark Meat at Satellite Art Show - Austin and Eva Mueller’s TwistedTwins-XXY at Satellite Art Fair - Brooklyn. This year, we launched Arcade Project Curatorial, a nomadic gallery showing provocative and challenging work. Since the launch, we have exhibited SPRING FORWARD and Gay Guerrilla online as well as Kevin Darmanie’s Rainbow Country, an in-person pop-up at Paradice Palase in Bushwick. As 2020 draws to a close, we are looking forward to the new, and hopefully healthier, year ahead. Up to this point, Arcade Project has been a self-funded labor of love with the occasional help of donors. To help raise enough funds to pay for editing, web development, and a diverse team of freelance writers, Arcade Project is launching our Winter Benefit. 40% of the proceeds from this show will go towards funding Arcade Project for the upcoming year. |

Exhibition Dates: June 25—August 02, 2020 Artists: Damien Davis, Julie Torres, Poppy DeltaDawn, Will Hutnick, T.J. Dedeaux-Norris, and Christopher Stout Curator: Arcade Project Curatorial Founder M. Charlene Stevens Library of Artist Talks: www.youtube.com/channel/UCefwDc-IVY6sRdYi_4YPfqA Exhibition Statement: Queer abstraction has enjoyed an explosion of discovery over the last several years, with art academic circles embracing new artists in this genre as an outgrowth of the activist and gender-themed Queer abstraction of the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The visual essay of “GAY GUERRILLA” builds on this premise, and also investigates the myriad of new divergent conversations which have stemmed from lesbian, transgender, queer, and queer artists of color embracing the fluid portal of abstraction. It is essential to note that the title of our exhibition stems from the 1979 score by Julius Eastman, the hallowed Black, gay minimalist composer who brazenly confronted both racial and sexual orientation issues within his work. |
