M. Lamar, NEGROGOTHIC, A Manifesto, The Aesthetics of M. Lamar. Installation view
PARTICIPANT INC is pleased to open its thirteenth season with NEGROGOTHIC, A Manifesto, The Aesthetics of M. Lamar. This is the first New York solo exhibition by artist, countertenor, and composer M. Lamar, and features video, still photographs, and sculptural props used in Lamar’s films. Most known for his music and performance-based work, this physical installation cross-references romanticism, surrealism, horror, pornography, gospel, metal, and early silent film to propose radical potentialities of blackness.
