Keith Haring, Untitled for Lick Fat Boys, August 1979.

Andrew Blackley, Johanna Burton and Scott Treleaven discuss Haring, feminism, activism, early work, etc. for Bomb.  "This conversation between Andrew Blackley, Johanna Burton, and Scott Treleaven is the third and final component of Keith Haring: Languages. It supplements an exhibition at the Fales Library and Special Collections (NYU) of 130 never-before-exhibited, understudied artworks and documents held by the Keith Haring Foundation. A conference featuring nine speakers coincided with the exhibition's opening, bringing together figures from across academic and professional disciplines in order to publicly address the lineages available in these text-based materials as adjacent and precedent to the more well-known visual art of Haring’s later career. The text below threads together the major themes from Keith Haring: Languages—historicity, methodology, and the readership of artists’ writings and papers as substantive material and theoretical categories."

Scott Treleaven March 2, 2018 - April 1, 2018 Opening reception: Saturday March 3, 4-6pm COOPER COLE is pleased to present Meson, a solo exhibition by Scott Treleaven. This marks Treleaven's second solo exhibition with the gallery. Scott Treleaven’s most recent body of work is an ongoing series of torn photo-collages; bipartite constructions made from over two decades worth of the artist’s own 35mm snapshots. Produced by physically tearing in half and reassembling 4 x 6” photographs, Treleaven creates a new visual unity between the disparate pieces. The tear in the work becomes a transition between two fields; an edit, a horizon and a fulcrum. Usually depictions of atmospheric effects in nature, or quotidian domestic and studio settings, the assemblages avoid easy visual or surrealist puns, working instead with arrangements of subject, light, colour, and space. Each photo surrenders up a fraction of its original form, now segments in a new narrative that evokes the ghosts of their discarded halves. Treleaven’s artistic origins are in small-gage filmmaking and self-published zines that made an enduring contribution to independent, queer, and underground culture. The modest and democratic tenants of his early practice continue in his material choices, as well as his theory of collage as a basic gesture of insolence; a social strategy for both discord and unanticipated beauty. The photographs change from a serially reproducible, private object into a singular unique artwork by a process that usually signifies the ultimate rejection of an image.
