It looks like Lars Laumann is a bit of a fan of fey bequiffed gladioli-waving superstar Stephen Patrick Morrissey. And why not? Every right-thinking individual is indebted to the great grumpy Mancunian.
But even his greatest fans would be hard pressed to imagine Morrissey foretelling the death of Princess Diana, which is what Laumann did in a 2006 video work entitled, appropriately, Morrissey Foretelling the Death of Diana.
Anyway, Laumann has a solo show this June and July at Maureen Paley and it looks like being worth a look-in. Laumann primarily works with video, but there's still a chance he might deign to 'Paint a Vulgar Picture'. Sorry...
A first solo show at Maureen paley for contemporary American artist Stephen Prina. On show are works that appropriate the oeuvre of Edouard Manet. Until 03.06.12.
